Question

I’m trying to match a string in .NET Regex, I want the expression to match “identity.” with anything added to the end (can still limit the scope of * later on), testing the pattern in any regexeditor works just fine (I have one less backslash there, due to escaping).

I have set a breakpointright on my Regex.IsMatchto check the values, there are exactly what I put in the title (note that this is from the VS2010 debugger, escape sequences are unparsed)

Answer 1

Try using a string literal (prefix the string with @) when specifying your regex. This will remove the need for you to escape the \:

Regex.IsMatch("identity.requesttoken", @"identity\..*")
