I am trying to use Regex to find out if a string matches *abc

  • 0

I am trying to use Regex to find out if a string matches *abc – in other words, it starts with anything but finishes with “abc”?

What is the regex expression for this?
I tried *abc but “Regex.Matches” returns true for xxabcd, which is not what I want.
