Re: Regular Expressions?

Sorry, forgot to context switch!

Here is the code in VB

'
' Create our regex
'
dim r as new Regex("\[(?<Number>.*?)\]")
'
' Setup our capture string
'
dim test as string = "[54x454],[22b6],[885333]"
'
' Get our matches
'
dim m as MatchCollection = r.Matches(test)
'
' Do with them as we will!
'
for i as integer = 0 to m.Count-1
Console.WriteLine(m(i).Groups(1).Value)
next

Thanks guys

Looks promising!

Could I bother you again. What if the characters I'm interested are enclosed
in [ and ]. For example,

"[54x454],[22b6],[885333]"

Dim strTest As String = "#54x454#,#22b6#,#885333#"
Dim strNums() As String
strNums = strTest.Replace("#"c, "").Split(","c)

For Each s As String In strNums
Debug.Print(s)

Hi

I was wondering if you could help me with the following:

I have a string e.g. "#54x454#,#22b6#,#885333#".

I want to be able to store in an array list, the following from the
string:

54x454
22b6
885333

That is, the items between the hash signs.

I believe this could be done with regular expressions?

Can anybody show me some code to achieve this. By the way, there may be
more than three items.

Thanks in advance

G
