I have a string something like,
string str = "(50%silicon +20%!(20%Gold + 80%Silver)| + 30%Alumnium)";
I need a Regular Expression which would Replace the contents in between ! and | with an empty string. The result should be (50%silicon +20% + 30%Alumnium).
If the string contains something like (with nested delimiters):
string str = "(50%silicon +20%!(80%Gold + 80%Silver + 20%!(20%Iron + 80%Silver)|)|
+ 30%Alumnium)";
The result should be (50%silicon +20% + 30%Alumnium) - ignoring the nested delimiters.
I've tried the following Regex, but it doesn't ignore the nesting:
Regex.Replace(str , @"!.+?\|", "", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
