Examples

The following example finds regular expression pattern matches in a string, then lists the matched groups, captures, and capture positions.

#using <System.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Text::RegularExpressions;
void main()
{
   
   String^ text = "One car red car blue car";
   String^ pat = "(\\w+)\\s+(car)";
   
   // Compile the regular expression.
   Regex^ r = gcnew Regex( pat,RegexOptions::IgnoreCase );
   
   // Match the regular expression pattern against a text string.
   Match^ m = r->Match(text);
   int matchCount = 0;
   while ( m->Success )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Match{0}", ++matchCount );
      for ( int i = 1; i <= 2; i++ )

The regular expression pattern (\w+)\s+(car) matches occurrences of the word "car" along with the word that precedes it. It is interpreted as shown in the following table.

Pattern Description
(\w+) Match one or more word characters. This is the first capturing group.
\s+ Match one or more white-space characters.
(car) Match the literal string "car". This is the second capturing group.

Remarks

The Match(String) method returns the first substring that matches a regular expression pattern in an input string. For information about the language elements used to build a regular expression pattern, see Regular Expression Language - Quick Reference.

You can determine whether the regular expression pattern has been found in the input string by checking the value of the returned Match object's Success property. If a match is found, the returned Match object's Value property contains the substring from input that matches the regular expression pattern. If no match is found, its value is String.Empty.

This method returns the first substring in input that matches the regular expression pattern. You can retrieve subsequent matches by repeatedly calling the returned Match object's Match.NextMatch method. You can also retrieve all matches in a single method call by calling the Regex.Matches(String) method.

The RegexMatchTimeoutException exception is thrown if the execution time of the matching operation exceeds the time-out interval specified by the Regex.Regex(String, RegexOptions, TimeSpan) constructor. If you do not set a time-out interval when you call the constructor, the exception is thrown if the operation exceeds any time-out value established for the application domain in which the Regex object is created. If no time-out is defined in the Regex constructor call or in the application domain's properties, or if the time-out value is Regex.InfiniteMatchTimeout, no exception is thrown.

Remarks

The Match(String, String) method returns the first substring that matches a regular expression pattern in an input string. For information about the language elements used to build a regular expression pattern, see Regular Expression Language - Quick Reference.

The static Match(String, String) method is equivalent to constructing a Regex object with the specified regular expression pattern and calling the instance Match(String) method. In this case, the regular expression engine caches the regular expression pattern.

The pattern parameter consists of regular expression language elements that symbolically describe the string to match. For more information about regular expressions, see .NET Regular Expressions and Regular Expression Language - Quick Reference.

You can determine whether the regular expression pattern has been found in the input string by checking the value of the returned Match object's Success property. If a match is found, the returned Match object's Value property contains the substring from input that matches the regular expression pattern. If no match is found, its value is String.Empty.

This method returns the first substring in input that matches the regular expression pattern. You can retrieve subsequent matches by repeatedly calling the returned Match object's Match.NextMatch method. You can also retrieve all matches in a single method call by calling the Regex.Matches(String, String) method.

The RegexMatchTimeoutException exception is thrown if the execution time of the matching operation exceeds the time-out interval specified for the application domain in which the method is called. If no time-out is defined in the application domain's properties, or if the time-out value is Regex.InfiniteMatchTimeout, no exception is thrown.

Notes to Callers

This method times out after an interval that is equal to the default time-out value of the application domain in which it is called. If a time-out value has not been defined for the application domain, the value InfiniteMatchTimeout, which prevents the method from timing out, is used. The recommended static method for retrieving a pattern match is Match(String, String), which lets you set the time-out interval.

Public Function Match (input As String, beginning As Integer, length As Integer) As Match

Parameters

input
String

The string to search for a match.

beginning
Int32

The zero-based character position in the input string that defines the leftmost position to be searched.

length
Int32

The number of characters in the substring to include in the search.

Returns

An object that contains information about the match.

Exceptions

input is null.

beginning is less than zero or greater than the length of input.

-or-

length is less than zero or greater than the length of input.

-or-

beginning+length-1 identifies a position that is outside the range of input.

A time-out occurred. For more information about time-outs, see the Remarks section.

Remarks

The Match(String, Int32, Int32) method returns the first substring that matches a regular expression pattern in a portion of an input string. For information about the language elements used to build a regular expression pattern, see Regular Expression Language - Quick Reference.

The regular expression pattern for which the Match(String, Int32, Int32) method searches is defined by the call to one of the Regex class constructors. For more information about the elements that can form a regular expression pattern, see Regular Expression Language - Quick Reference.

The Match(String, Int32, Int32) method searches the portion of input defined by the beginning and length parameters for the regular expression pattern. beginning always defines the index of the leftmost character to include in the search, and length defines the maximum number of characters to search. Together, they define the range of the search. The behavior is exactly as if the input was effectively input.Substring(beginning, length), except that the index of any match is counted relative to the start of input. This means that any anchors or zero-width assertions at the start or end of the pattern behave as if there is no input outside of this range. For example the anchors ^, \G, and \A will be satisfied at beginning and $ and \z will be satisfied at beginning + length - 1.

If the search proceeds from left to right (the default), the regular expression engine searches from the character at index beginning to the character at index beginning + length - 1. If the regular expression engine was instantiated by using the RegexOptions.RightToLeft option so that the search proceeds from right to left, the regular expression engine searches from the character at index beginning + length - 1 to the character at index beginning.

This method returns the first match that it finds within this range. You can retrieve subsequent matches by repeatedly calling the returned Match object's Match.NextMatch method.

You can determine whether the regular expression pattern has been found in the input string by checking the value of the returned Match object's Success property. If a match is found, the returned Match object's Value property contains the substring from input that matches the regular expression pattern. If no match is found, its value is String.Empty.

The RegexMatchTimeoutException exception is thrown if the execution time of the matching operation exceeds the time-out interval specified by the Regex.Regex(String, RegexOptions, TimeSpan) constructor. If you do not set a time-out value when you call the constructor, the exception is thrown if the operation exceeds any time-out value established for the application domain in which the Regex object is created. If no time-out is defined in the Regex constructor call or in the application domain's properties, or if the time-out value is Regex.InfiniteMatchTimeout, no exception is thrown.

Remarks

The Match(String, String, RegexOptions, TimeSpan) method returns the first substring that matches a regular expression pattern in an input string. For information about the language elements used to build a regular expression pattern, see Regular Expression Language - Quick Reference.

The static Match(String, String, RegexOptions, TimeSpan) method is equivalent to constructing a Regex object with the Regex(String, RegexOptions, TimeSpan) constructor and calling the instance Match(String) method.

The pattern parameter consists of regular expression language elements that symbolically describe the string to match. For more information about regular expressions, see .NET Regular Expressions and Regular Expression Language - Quick Reference.

You can determine whether the regular expression pattern has been found in the input string by checking the value of the returned Match object's Success property. If a match is found, the returned Match object's Value property contains the substring from input that matches the regular expression pattern. If no match is found, its value is String.Empty.

This method returns the first substring found in input that matches the regular expression pattern. You can retrieve subsequent matches by repeatedly calling the returned Match object's NextMatch method. You can also retrieve all matches in a single method call by calling the Regex.Matches(String, String, RegexOptions) method.

The matchTimeout parameter specifies how long a pattern matching method should try to find a match before it times out. Setting a time-out interval prevents regular expressions that rely on excessive backtracking from appearing to stop responding when they process input that contains near matches. For more information, see Best Practices for Regular Expressions and Backtracking. If no match is found in that time interval, the method throws a RegexMatchTimeoutException exception. matchTimeout overrides any default time-out value defined for the application domain in which the method executes.

Notes to Callers

We recommend that you set the matchTimeout parameter to an appropriate value, such as two seconds. If you disable time-outs by specifying InfiniteMatchTimeout, the regular expression engine offers slightly better performance. However, you should disable time-outs only under the following conditions:

  • When the input processed by a regular expression is derived from a known and trusted source or consists of static text. This excludes text that has been dynamically input by users.

  • When the regular expression pattern has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it efficiently handles matches, non-matches, and near matches.

  • When the regular expression pattern contains no language elements that are known to cause excessive backtracking when processing a near match.
