Question

Hi guys I have a string for example…

“Afds 1.2 45002”

What I wanted to do using regex is to start from the left, return characters A-Z || a-z until an unmatached is encountered.

So in the example above I wanted to return “Afds”.

Another example

“BCAD 2.11 45099 GHJ”

In this case I just want “BCAD”.

Thanks

Answer 1

use this regular expression (?i)^[a-z]+

Match match = Regex.Match(stringInput, @"(?i)^[a-z]+");

(?i) – ignore case

^ – begin of string

[a-z] – any latin letter

[a-z ] – any latin letter or space

+ – 1 or more previos symbol
