Regular Expressions .NET

[Justin Fancy]

I am new to regular expressions with .net. I was wondering if someone
could help me out.

I'm looking for the lines of code that will replace C: with
nothing(""), AND all backslashes"\" to forward slashes"/".

Example:

ORGINAL

x:\en\aviation\ users.htm

FINISHED PRODUCT

/en/aviation/users.htm

It would be awesome if I could hear from someone on this matter.

Thanks!

Re: Regular Expressions .NET

You mean something like:

Dim str As String = "C:\en\aviation \users.htm"
str = Regex.Replace(s tr, "C:", "")
str = Regex.Replace(s tr, "\\", "/")
MsgBox(str)

Note, the following does the same thing:

Dim str As String = "C:\en\aviation \users.htm"
str.Replace("C: ", "")
str.Replace("\\ ", "/")
MsgBox(str)

Thanks,

Seth Rowe

Oops, change "\\" to "\" Making it:

Dim str As String = "C:\en\aviation \users.htm"
str.Replace("C: ", "")
str.Replace("\" , "/")
MsgBox(str)

Using Regex.Replace requires using double backslashes as a backslash
has special meaning to Regex. This cause str.Replace("\\ ", "/") to look
for 2 backslashes instead of just one.

Removing the drive letter can be done with a regular expression:

path = Regex.Replace(p ath, "^[A-Z]:", "")

Replacing the backslashes can be done with just a regular replace.

Re: Regular Expressions .NET

Seth,
Try:

Dim str As String = "C:\en\aviation \users.htm"

str = str.Replace("C: ", "")
str = str.Replace("\" , "/")

MsgBox(str)

As String.Replace is a function that returns the modifed string.
