    Regex to with whitespace or tab or newline, can't seem to get it towork.

    Hi,

    I have text in a file that looks like this:


    [
    2
    in stock]



    What kind of regex could get the '2' ?


    I tried this:

    string regex = @"[\s]*(?'stock'.*?). *in\sstock]";

    But it didn't work since [\s]* doesn't include tabs etc, and I am not
    sure exactly what that whitespace is.....

      Try @"(\d+)(?:\s +in stock)" or @"(\d+)(?:\s+in \s+stock)" !

          \d+ is for digits, but that area might contain whitespace, tabs or
          carriage returns also.

              If it contains whitespace then what do you want returned ?

                      The integer value 2.
                      If it does not contain any digits but only whitespace at that
                      position you want it to return 2 ??

                          The text is like this:

                          [
                          2
                          in stock]

                          All that whitespace could be: 1) whitespace 2)carriage return 3) tabs

                          I want to extract the integer value (in the example I'm giving it is
                          2).

                              \s matches space, CR and TAB !

                              So I do still not understand the problem.
