Question

I’m working on a regular expressions pattern, but it contains a number of special characters. I’m not really sure how to incorporate them in a normal regex pattern string. Specifically, I need to test to see if a string contains ‘+/-‘…

I’ve tried using quotes etc but have no luck (I’m extremely new to regex). I am coding this in C# 4.0.

One string example is “3Z1Z +/- 5.5”

Any help is much appreciated – Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Create a simple regex :

foundMatch = Regex.IsMatch(SubjectString, @"\+/-");

Will return true if this sequence of characters is found anywhere in your string. The explanation is left as an exercise to you.
