Question

I have some data like that in a file.

Start
Status:good<>
Status:bad<>
Status:dfsf<>
Status:gosdfsfod<>
Status:dogEatsCat<>
Some randomdata
End

<> is just end of status information
I just want to get last status. This one “dogEatsCat”.

This regex is returning me all the statuses.

Status:(.+?)<>

But I just want to get the last one.

Answer 1

EDIT

Alternatively, you can grab all matches and return the last match captured. This can be done like the following:

Regex lastRegex = new Regex(@".*Status:(.+?)<>");
MatchCollection allMatches = lastRegex.Matches(sample);
if (allMatches.Count > 0)
{
    Console.WriteLine(allMatches[allMatches.Count-1].Groups[1].Value);
}
