regex doesn't match expression

[skneife@gmail.com]

Hi,
I have an input string :
<NEW>g04 8/1 0<catset>pub=g0 4</catset>
and I use this regex expresssion to match from <NEWto </catset>, I
wrote:
<NEW>.+?</catsetbut it doesn't work, no match !
What is the good way ?
Thanks.

Depends on if you want the contents (in between NEWand </) or match the
tags as well? Do you want captures?

Here are a couple of solutions:

Solution #1: this is a full match of what you asked for....
\<NEW\>.@\</catset\>

Solution #2: this is a full match with 2 captures. If you would like to see
the reason for this, use the Replace with text in the Quick Replace dialog:

Find expression:
\<NEW\>{.*}\<ca tset\>{.*}\</catset\>

Replace with expression:
NEW: "\1"\nCATSE T: "\2"

Do either of these find expressions solve your problem?

I'm not sure what the problem is. The following prints "found"

string s = "<NEW>g04 8/1 0<catset>pub=g0 4</catset>";
if (Regex.IsMatch( s, "<NEW>.+?</catset>")) {
Console.WriteLi ne("found");
}

Yes Brian you are right, my sample code match the searched string.
I was using a tool for testing and it was not work for a unknown
reason.
Thanks for help.
