Question

Let’s say that I have string:

-dog--cat--d--

I would like to find all words from that string, and length should be greater than 1.

But what is more, I would like to know first and last index of each of the words.

How could I do that?

I was thinking about creating struct. It could store some data(index start and stop, words, length, etc.)

But I really do not know how to find out any way to get that words.

So far I only created array storing valuese 0 and 1 (if element is ‘-‘ then 0 else 1).
Can anybody help me? 🙂

You can use the regular expression @"\p{L}{2,}" to find 2 or more consecutive letters:

foreach (Match match in Regex.Matches(s, @"\p{L}{2,}")) {
    // match.Index, match.Value, etc..
}
