Question

Is there any way to extract the matched strings by using Regex in T-SQL(SQL Server 2005)?

For example:

Welcome [CT Name=”UserName” /],
We hope that you will enjoy our services and your subscription will be expired on [CT Name=”ExpiredDate” /].

I would like to extract the custom tokens in tabular format as follows:

[CT Name="UserName" /]
[CT Name="ExpiredDate" /]

Thanks for your suggestion!

You can use the .Net Clr functions.

Here is the Regular-Expression-Replace sample, you can get the idea and apply it to your problem.

EDIT:

try this regex to find what you want

var s = "Welcome [CT Name=\"UserName\" /], We hope that you will enjoy our services and your subscription will be expired on [CT Name=\"ExpiredDate\" /].";
var pattern = "\\[CT\\s\\w+=\"\\w+\"\\s/\\]";
var matches = Regex.Matches(s, pattern);
foreach (var match in matches)
{
    Console.WriteLine(match.ToString());
}
Console.ReadLine();
