Question

I want to check whether my string variable contain the particular regular expression pattern or not

xxx-xx-x

(x is numerical value) using c#. If it contains then I need to return true or false.

Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue..

Answer 1

Use the returned value by Regex.IsMatch().

Regex regex = new Regex("[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]");

bool containsPattern = regex.IsMatch(stringToVerify);
