In .NET 4.0 What does the reg ex,
"^ABC(: ([^=]+(?<! )=(?! )[^,]+(?<! )(,(?! )|$))+)?$"
matches to?
Some sample examples would be of much help.
I am quite surprised with following results. The above expression matches, "ABC: X=12,Y=1.79769313486232E+308". But it fails for "ABC: X=12,Y=1,79769313486232E+308". The only difference is the decimal symbol for the double number.
Thanks.
Look at the [^,]
that basically says that after the = (=(?! )
) match anything that doesn't have a ,
in it.
The Regex is not really elegant:
Even something like ABC
would match. Something like ABC: X=1Y=1
would also match. I would say, don't use this and assemble a proper regex for what you need.
