Question

I am having following code but unable to understand as to why no match is returned? What change do I need to make?

string temp = "qqqqqqqq<ahref=\"city.php?city=qqqqqqq";
Regex r = new Regex("<ahref=\"city.php?city=");
Match m = r.Match(temp);

The variable m doesn’t return a match.

Thanks

You did not escape the dot . and the question mark ? meta-characters.

Regex r = new Regex("<ahref=\"city\\.php\\?city=");
