I have a regular expression (regex) question...
How would I use regular expressions to remove the contents in parenthesis in a string in C# like this:
"SOMETHING (#2)"
The part of the string I want to remove always appears within paranthesis and they are always # followed by some number. The rest of the string needs to be left alone.
Patterns:
string pattern1 = @"\(.*w*\)";
string pattern2= @"\(#\w+\)";According to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.regularexpressions.regex.aspx
I have gotten some results like this:
string pattern = @"\(#\d+\)";
Regex rgx = new Regex(pattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
MatchCollection matches = rgx.Matches(interesting_string);
But I do not know what to do with the matches or what to do after this.
use Regex.Replace, as in
string newstring = rgx.Replace(oldstring, String.Empty);We're a friendly, industry-focused community of developers, IT pros, digital marketers, and technology enthusiasts meeting, networking, learning, and sharing knowledge.
