I have this code
Regex.Match(contents, @"Security=(?<Security>\D+)").Groups["Security"].Value;
this makes the following:
Security=SSPI;Database=Datab_ob
How do I make the Regex cut off at ; so i would only get Security=SSPI

If you put four spaces before each line of code it gets formatted as code. This means the HTML sanitizer won't eat tag-like stuff, like the <Security> group name.R. Martinho Fernandes– R. Martinho Fernandes2009-12-07 15:52:27 +00:00Commented Dec 7, 2009 at 15:52

+1; Anytime you have a text delimiter that's defined by some external constraint (like the use of ';' in the connection string parsing logic in .NET) using that as a negative character class makes for a simple and reliable regex.
How about this?
"Security=(?<Security>\D+?);"

you could to use a positive lookahead to look for the ; after your string, but not to match it. Using this:
Security=(?<Security>\w+(?=;))
as the regex pattern will get any words after the '=' and before the ';' into the Security named group

That's if you want there to be a ; after the Security line. It could also be at the end of the connection string.
