Question

Field1: Unknown1
Field2: Unknown2
Field3: Unknown3

In my case I want to exclude row starting with “Field2:” which is effectively start marker “Field2:” end marker “\n” and replace with ” including delimiters.

Or what would be regular expression if I wanted to replace

Field2: Unknown\n  with Field2: SomethingElse\n

Answer 1

To delete the row entirely (assuming input is a string that has all the rows delimited with \n):

result = Regex.Replace(input, "^Fielt2:.*\n", "", RegexOptions.MultiLine);

To replace the row:

result = Regex.Replace(input, "^Field2:.*", "Field2: SomethingElse", RegexOptions.MultiLine);

Since .* grabs everything to the end of the line except the terminating line break, there’s no need to use $ to match the end of the line.
