I am trying to find the following text in my string : '***'
the thing is that the C# Regex mechanism doesnt allow me to do the following:
new Regex("***", RegexOptions.CultureInvariant | RegexOptions.Compiled);
due to
ArgumentException: “parsing “*” – Quantifier {x,y} following nothing.”
obviously it thinks that my stars represents regular expressions,
is there a way to tell the Regex mechanism to treat stars as just stars and nothing else?
You need to escape the star with a backslash:
@"\*"
