Question

I am trying to write a regular expression to split the following strings into segments.

#if [Customer.OrderQuantity] > 5 #then 1000 #if [Customer.OrderQuantity] < 5 #then 500 #else 100


 1st Segment: #if [Customer.OrderQuantity] > 5 #then 1000
 2nd Segment: #if [Customer.OrderQuantity] < 5 #then 500
 3rd Segment: #else 100

Your suggestion is much appreciated!

Answer 1

This is producing the output you want

string source = "#if [Customer.OrderQuantity] > 5 #then 1000 #if [Customer.OrderQuantity] < 5 #then 500 #else 100";

string[] result = Regex.Split(source, @"\s*(?=#(?:if|else))");

foreach (string a in result) {
    Console.WriteLine(a);
}

But I am guessing at some points, I have no idea if this is doing what you want for other cases.
