Question

I’m looking for one regular expression that could match a string for three specific cases in a xml file:

1. : Double-quotes surrounding a string.
2. : A string surrounded by the characters greater than and Less Than.
3. : A string surrounded by the characters ; and &.

Example:

• “MyString” – Valid match
• >MyString< – Valid match
• ;MyString& – Valid match

Other possible combinations are invalid match.

“MyString< – Invalid match

;MyString” – Invalid match

Answer 1

Try this: ("MyString")|(>MyString<)|(;MyString&)
