About a Regular Expression Grouping Construct

[Laser Lu]

Hello, everybody,
do you know how to use this Grouping Construct?

(?> )

I've found its reference on MSDN, but still can not understand it totally.
The following is its description:

Nonbacktracking subexpression (also known as a "greedy" subexpression). The
subexpression is fully matched once, and then does not participate piecemeal
in backtracking. (That is, the subexpression matches only strings that would
be matched by the subexpression alone.)

Can anybody tell me how to use it? If someone knows, please show me an example:)
Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Laser Lu.

Re: About a Regular Expression Grouping Construct

in the visual studio u can try the RegularExpressi onValidator and there you
can use your ExpString!

Re: About a Regular Expression Grouping Construct

Hello Daniel, thank you:)
But I'd like to say that the RegularExpressi onValidator control is only available
in ASP.NET Web Applications, and its built-in editor is simple. Both Regulator
and Expresso are better than it.

However, my question is what does the Grouping Construct '(?> )' mean? I
just need a sample code on how to use this construct:)

Re: About a Regular Expression Grouping Construct

You can use the grouping construct for extracting parts of a string. For
example, say you want to extract the value of color (i.e. "red") from the
following string:

string description color="red"

You can do this using the regular expression: color="(?<color >\S*)"

The following code uses the regular expression and the Match.Groups property
to print out the value "red":

Regex rgx = new Regex(@"color=\ ""(?<color>\S*) \""");
Match m = rgx.Match("a string description color=\"red\"") ;
if (m.Success)
{
string color = m.Groups["color"].Value;
Console.WriteLi ne(color);
}

Re: About a Regular Expression Grouping Construct

I am not sure I understand your question. "(?> )" defines af group. In my
example I used "(?> )" to define a group called "color".

Hey Jakob, you used construct "(?<name> )", not "(?> )". They are not the
same:)

Re: About a Regular Expression Grouping Construct

I found this: http://brl.sourceforge.net/brl_6.html#SEC67

It seems that the construct is not implemented by .net.
