I am trying to replace few characters from a text. These characters maybe from start or end or it may be in middle. The problem is that it hasn't any white space at starting or ending. For example i want to replace "text" from this text with, for instance, "abc".
input: Thisisatextbox
output: Thisisaabcbox
I tried this code so far.
Regex.Replace(textBox.Text, @"\w[text]", "abc");
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Use the following.. [ ] has special meaning (character class) in regex:
Regex.Replace(textBox.Text, @"text", "abc");
Wouldn't a simple Replace function work? I don't believe Regex is required.
Try this :
string oldText = "Thisisatextbox";
string newText = oldText.Replace("text", "abc");
I believe this would be easier.
Regex.Replace(textBox.Text, @"\w*(text)\w*", "abc");
Use parentheses to capture the text you want to replace.
[] describes a character class. So, if you put [text] it will take ONE character from "t", "x", "e" to search for a possible match.
