RegEx replace query to pick out wiki syntax
- by Jeremy Thake
I've got a string of HTML that I need to grab the "[Title|http://www.test.com]" pattern out of e.g.
"dafasdfasdf, adfasd. [Test|http://www.test.com/] adf ddasfasdf [SDAF|http://www.madee.com/] assg ad"
I need to replace "[Title|http://www.test.com]" this with "Title".
What is the best away to approach this?
I was getting close with:
string test = "dafasdfasdf adfasd [Test|http://www.test.com/] adf ddasfasdf [SDAF|http://www.madee.com/] assg ad ";
string p18 = @"(\[.*?|.*?\])";
MatchCollection mc18 = Regex.Matches(test, p18, RegexOptions.Singleline | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (Match m in mc18)
{
string value = m.Groups[1].Value;
string fulltag = value.Substring(value.IndexOf("["), value.Length - value.IndexOf("["));
Console.WriteLine("text=" + fulltag);
}
There must be a cleaner way of getting the two values out e.g. the "Title" bit and the url itself.
Any suggestions?
