Question

I need to extract a skype accounts from the array of strings.
They appear after word “skype: ” in the string. So I need the way to extract them using regex.
And it looks like I need something like: string RegexPattern = @”skype:\s*(\w*)”;
But when this regex meets the account with . (dot) like P.Revenko.Sokolniki it returns only first letter (P in this case), and it has to be P.Revenko.Sokolniki.
Any help will be appreciated.

Edited: use this:

skype:\s*(?<account>[\w.]*)

and get group named account like this:

String skypeAccount = Regex.Match(inputString, @"skype:\s*(?<account>(\w|\.)*)").Groups["account"].Value;
