C# : Regular Expression
- by Pramodh
I'm having a set of row data as follows
List<String> l_lstRowData = new List<string> { "Data 1 32:01805043*0FFFFFFF",
"Data 3, 20.0e-3",
"Data 2, 1.0e-3 172:?:CRC" ,
"Data 6"
};
and two List namely "KeyList" and "ValueList" like
List<string> KeyList = new List<string>();
List<string> ValueList = new List<string>();
I need to fill the two List<String> from the data from l_lstRowData using Pattern Matching
And here is my Pattern for this
String l_strPattern = @"(?<KEY>(Data|data|DATA)\s[0-9]*[,]?[ ][0-9e.-]*)[ \t\r\n]*(?<Value>[0-9A-Za-z:?*!. \t\r\n\-]*)";
Regex CompiledPattern=new Regex(l_strPattern,RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace);
So finally the two Lists will contain
KeyList
{ "Data 1" }
{ "Data 3, 20.0e-3" }
{ "Data 2, 1.0e-3" }
{ "Data 6" }
ValueList
{ "32:01805043*0FFFFFFF" }
{ "" }
{ "172:?:CRC" }
{ "" }
Scenerio:
The Group KEY in the Pattern Should match "The data followed by an integer value , and the if there exist a comma(,) then the next string i.e a double value
The Group Value in the Pattern should match string after the whitespace.In the first string it should match 32:01805043*0FFFFFFF but in the 3rd 172:?:CRC.
Here is my sample code
for (int i = 0; i < l_lstRowData.Count; i++)
{
MatchCollection M = CompiledPattern.Matches(l_lstRowData[i], 0);
KeyList.Add(M[0].Groups["KEY"].Value);
ValueList.Add(M[0].Groups["Value"].Value);
}
But my Pattern is not working in this situation.
Please help me to rewrite my Pattern.
