Question

A little stuck here. I have a simple question I guess.

Given the following input:

 content {c:comment comment}this is actual content{c:comment etc} content

I need a way to get the content and comments seperated, but I need to now the order of them. So a simple regex doesn’t work.

I want to get this:

 content
 {c:comment comment}
 this is actual content
 {c:comment etc}
 content

Somebody a clue?

Answer 1

string s = "content {c:comment comment}this is actual content{c:comment etc} content";
var split = Regex.Split(s, @"\{c:(?<comment>[^\}]*)\}");

NOTE: when the regex of a split has a capturing like (?<comment> ) it also gets returned.
