Knowing how the compiler handles the various types allows you to avoid unexpected side effects in your code.

In this third and for now last post on using regular expressions we look at some advanced topics. When your expressions become more complicated they also become harder to understand so documenting them can help. And isn’t standard string replacement a little bit too basic? We also look at how speeding things up can improve your code’s efficiency. read more...

Regular Expressions in C# - Practical Usage (dijksterhuis.org)

submitted by martijn(445) 3 years, 2 months ago

This post touches on four major regular expression subjects: 1. String Comparison - does a string contain a particular sub-string? 2. Splitting a string into segments - we will take an IPv4 address and retrieve its dotted components 3. Replacement - modifying an input string 4. Stricter input validation - how to harden your expressions. read more...
