Question

I want to extract the value between the apostrophes, for example from this string: package: name='com.app' versionCode='4' versionName='1.3' This is what “aapt” returns when developing android apps. I have to get the values com.app, 4, and 1.3. I’d appreciate any help 🙂
I found this, however this is VBA.

Answer 1

This regex should work on all cases, assuming that the ' character only occurs as the enclosing character for values:

string input = "package: name='com.app' versionCode='4' versionName='1.3'";
string[] values = Regex.Matches(input, @"'(?<val>.*?)'")
                       .Cast<Match>()
                       .Select(match => match.Groups["val"].Value)
                       .ToArray();
