  • 0

I’m having difficulty designing a regex that will match a line of text that contains 0..n number of a specific character only.

Example:
0

01: foo,bar,blah,42
02: ,,,

Trying to match line 2.

I want to limit the match to a line that ONLY contains the specific delimiter I’m attempting to match on).

The regex should match on any number of the specific character (in my case, a comma), so it will not matter if there is 0 or 100.

I’ve tried using backreference to no avail. I’m using .NET for the regex if it matters, but I am not being picky. If an example can be shown in Perl, etc., I’ll be happy to take it and figure out the conversion.

Suggestions?
