Dear readers, if you click on this article, it means that you are very interested in regularization.
foreach (string word in words) { if (rx.IsMatch(word)) { Console.WriteLine($"{word} does match"); } else { Console.WriteLine($"{word} does not match"); } } We go through the list of words. The IsMatch method returns true if the word matches the regular expression. ...
strSearchString = "The Mona Lisa is in the Louvre." Then we call the regular expression method Replace, passing this method two parameters: the target text we want to search (the variable strSearchString) and the replacement text (La Gioconda). That's what we're doing here:Copy...

The Windows PowerShell –match operator compares a string to a regular expression, or regex, and then returns either True or False depending on whether the string matches the regex. A very simple regex doesn't even need to contain any special syntax—literal characters will suffice. For ...
