static member Matches : string * string * System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions * TimeSpan -> System.Text.RegularExpressions.MatchCollection
Public Shared Function Matches (input As String, pattern As String, options As RegexOptions, matchTimeout As TimeSpan) As MatchCollection

Parameters

input
String

The string to search for a match.

pattern
String

The regular expression pattern to match.

options
RegexOptions

A bitwise combination of the enumeration values that specify options for matching.

matchTimeout
TimeSpan

A time-out interval, or InfiniteMatchTimeout to indicate that the method should not time out.

Returns

A collection of the Match objects found by the search. If no matches are found, the method returns an empty collection object.

Exceptions

A regular expression parsing error occurred.

input or pattern is null.

options is not a valid bitwise combination of RegexOptions values.

-or-

matchTimeout is negative, zero, or greater than approximately 24 days.

Examples

The following example calls the Matches(String, String, RegexOptions, TimeSpan) method to perform a case-sensitive comparison that matches any word in a sentence that ends in "es". It then calls the Matches(String, String, RegexOptions, TimeSpan) method to perform a case-insensitive comparison of the pattern with the input string. In both cases, the time-out interval is set to one second. As the output shows, the two methods return different results.

   public static void Main()
   {
      string pattern = @"\b\w+es\b";
      string sentence = "NOTES: Any notes or comments are optional.";
      
      // Call Matches method without specifying any options.

The regular expression pattern \b\w+es\b is defined as shown in the following table.

Pattern Description
\b Begin the match at a word boundary.
\w+ Match one or more word characters.
es Match the literal string "es".
\b End the match at a word boundary.

Remarks

The Matches(String, String, RegexOptions, TimeSpan) method is similar to the Match(String, String, RegexOptions, TimeSpan) method, except that it returns information about all the matches found in the input string, instead of a single match. It is equivalent to the following code:

   try {
      Match match = Regex.Match(input, pattern, options,
                                TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
      while (match.Success) {
            // Handle match here...

            match = match.NextMatch();
      }  
   }
   catch (RegexMatchTimeoutException) {
      // Do nothing: assume that exception represents no match.
   }
   Try
      Dim match As Match = Regex.Match(input, pattern, options, 
                                       TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1))
      Do While match.Success
            ' Handle match here...

            match = match.NextMatch()
      Loop  
   Catch e As RegexMatchTimeoutException
      ' Do nothing: assume that exception represents no match.
   End Try

The static Matches methods are equivalent to constructing a Regex object with the specified regular expression pattern and calling the instance method Matches.

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.

The Matches method uses lazy evaluation to populate the returned MatchCollection object. Accessing members of this collection such as MatchCollection.Count and MatchCollection.CopyTo causes the collection to be populated immediately. To take advantage of lazy evaluation, you should iterate the collection by using a construct such as foreach in C# and For Each...Next in Visual Basic.

Because of its lazy evaluation, calling the Matches method does not throw a RegexMatchTimeoutException exception. However, an exception is thrown when an operation is performed on the MatchCollection object returned by this method, if a matching operation exceeds this time-out interval specified by thematchTimeout parameter.

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.

However, the exception is thrown when an operation is performed on the MatchCollection object returned by this method, if a time-out interval is defined by the "REGEX_DEFAULT_MATCH_TIMEOUT" property of the current application domain and a matching operation exceeds this time-out interval.

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 multiple pattern matches is Matches(String, String, RegexOptions, TimeSpan), which lets you set the time-out interval.

To take advantage of lazy evaluation, you should iterate the collection by using a construct such as foreach in C# and For Each...Next in Visual Basic.

Because of its lazy evaluation, calling the Matches(String, String) method does not throw a RegexMatchTimeoutException exception. However, the exception is thrown when an operation is performed on the MatchCollection object returned by this method, if a time-out interval is defined by the "REGEX_DEFAULT_MATCH_TIMEOUT" property of the current application domain and a matching operation exceeds this time-out interval.

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 multiple pattern matches is Matches(String, String, RegexOptions, TimeSpan), which lets you specify the time-out interval.
