Question

I am using Regex to retrieve a paragraph. My paragraph in my string variable contains the beginning letter, G. and it ends with a variable, @Variable.

What pattern would I use to use to grab that paragraph? I was using the code below but I think I am really off.

    Regex.Match(paragraph, @"\G. .*\@Variable$");

Answer 1

It would be something like this:

string regex = @"G.+" + variable.ToString()
Regex.Match(paragraph, regex);

While you’re at it grab a copy of Expresso – makes tasks like this much easier.
