Question

I am trying to replace model => model.Password substring within @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Password).

Any clue which regex template I have use to?

I have tried \\(.+?\\) Is this correct?

Thank you!

var match = Regex.Match(view, @"@Html.DisplayNameFor(\\(.+?\\))", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
if (match.Success)
{

}

The pattern should be more like:

@"@Html\.DisplayNameFor\((.+?)\)"

Since you were already using a verbatim string (@""), you shouldn’t have included the double backslashes. Also, the . should have been escaped, and I adjusted the grouping parens to match model => model.Password instead of (model => model.Password).

And if you’re trying to replace, you may want to just use Regex.Replace directly instead of first Matching it.
