Regex to split a string

Hi Guys,

I am currently working on ripping some information from a text file. I am trying to use regex to split up some strings.

I.e. text file has this line

Serial Number .............................. ABC123456AB

I need to just get the "ABC123456AB" part. So far I have not been able to work out the regex for it. I would like to search for " Serial Number .............................. " and return just the AB123456AB part.

Cheers

Wilson

Following code snippet may help:

 		
private void btnRegExTest_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	
	Regex matcher 
		= new Regex(@"[^Serial][^Number]\s\w*", 
				RegexOptions.Multiline | RegexOptions.Compiled);

	string str2Match 
			= "Serial Number .............................. ABC123456AB";

	MatchCollection matches = matcher.Matches(str2Match);
	if (matches != null && matches.Count > 0)
	{
		foreach (Match match in matches)
		{
			MessageBox.Show(match.ToString().Replace(".", string.Empty).Trim());
		}
	} 
	else
	{
		MessageBox.Show("No match found");
	}

}

Cheers

Hi,

try it with the following regexp:

text = "Serial Number .............................. ABC123456AB";
Match match1 = Regex.Match(text, "( <=Serial Number\\s+\\.+\\s+).*");
