I have a string:

string s = "GameObject.Find(\"MyObj\").GetComponent(\"MyComponent\")";

I want to extract “GameObject.Find(\”MyObj\”)” where MyObj can include any number or type of characters except newline.

This is my code:

Match match = Regex.Match(s, "GameObject.Find(\".+\")");

I know I’m doing something wrong, but I’m not sure where to go from here. How can we make this expression work as intended?

    Match match = Regex.Match(s, "GameObject.Find(\".+?\")");

    You should do non-greedy search, but beware that it will only match from parantheses+quotation mark to first quotation mark+parantheses.

    So for,

    string s = "GameObject.Find(\"seckin(\\\"hand\\\").thumb()\").GetComponent(\"MyComponent\")"

    it will match "GameObject.Find(\"seckin(\\\"hand\\\")"

    But there is no way to match enclosing parenthesis using RegExp, so it is the best sub-optimal solution.
