Examples

The following example creates and uses a compiled regular expression in two steps.

In the first step, compile and execute the following code example. The RegexCompilationInfo constructor in the code example defines a compiled regular expression. The result of executing the code is an assembly named FishRegex.dll that contains a compiled regular expression type named FishRegex.

// This code example demonstrates the RegexCompilationInfo constructor
// and the Regex.CompileToAssembly() method.
// compile: csc genFishRegex.cs

namespace MyApp
{
    using System;
    using System.Reflection;
    using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
    class GenFishRegEx
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
// Pattern = Group matches one or more word characters,
//           one or more white space characters,
//           group matches the string "fish".
        string pat = @"(\w+)\s+(fish)";

// Create the compilation information.
// Case-insensitive matching; type name = "FishRegex";
// namespace = "MyApp"; type is public.
        RegexCompilationInfo rci = new RegexCompilationInfo(
                    pat, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase,
                    "FishRegex", "MyApp", true);

// Setup to compile.
        AssemblyName an = new AssemblyName();
        an.Name = "FishRegex";
        RegexCompilationInfo[] rciList = { rci };

// Compile the regular expression.
        Regex.CompileToAssembly(rciList, an);
        }
    }
}
' This code example demonstrates the RegexCompilationInfo constructor
' and the Regex.CompileToAssembly() method.
' compile: csc genFishRegex.cs

Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions

Class GenFishRegEx
    Public Shared Sub Main() 
        ' Pattern = Group matches one or more word characters, 
        '           one or more white space characters, 
        '           group matches the string "fish".
        Dim pat As String = "(\w+)\s+(fish)"
        
        ' Create the compilation information.
        ' Case-insensitive matching; type name = "FishRegex"; 
        ' namespace = "MyApp"; type is public.
        Dim rci As New RegexCompilationInfo(pat, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase, _
                                            "FishRegex", "MyApp", True)
        
        ' Setup to compile.
        Dim an As New AssemblyName()
        an.Name = "FishRegex"
        Dim rciList As RegexCompilationInfo() = New RegexCompilationInfo() { rci }
        
        ' Compile the regular expression.
        Regex.CompileToAssembly(rciList, an)
    
    End Sub
End Class

In the second step, compile the following code example using a reference to FishRegex.dll, and then run the resulting executable file. The executable file matches a target string by using the FishRegex type, and displays the match, group, capture group, and index position of the matches in the target string.

// This code example demonstrates the RegexCompilationInfo constructor.
// Execute this code example after executing genFishRegex.exe.
// compile: csc /r:FishRegex.dll useFishRegex.cs

namespace MyApp
  {
  using System;
  using System.Reflection;
  using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

  class UseFishRegEx
    {
    public static void Main()
      {
// Match against the following target string.
      string targetString = "One fish two fish red fish blue fish";
      int matchCount = 0;
      FishRegex f = new FishRegex();

// Display the target string.
      Console.WriteLine("\nInput string = \"" + targetString + "\"");

// Display each match, capture group, capture, and match position.
      foreach (Match m in f.Matches(targetString))
    {
    Console.WriteLine("\nMatch(" + (++matchCount) + ")");
    for (int i = 1; i <= 2; i++)
      {
      Group g = m.Groups[i];
      Console.WriteLine("Group(" + i + ") = \"" + g + "\"");
      CaptureCollection cc = g.Captures;
      for (int j = 0; j < cc.Count; j++)
        {
        Capture c = cc[j];
        System.Console.WriteLine(
          "Capture(" + j + ") = \"" + c + "\", Position = " + c.Index);
        }
      }
    }
      }
    }
  }

Remarks

Each parameter of the RegexCompilationInfo(String, RegexOptions, String, String, Boolean) constructor directly corresponds to a property of the RegexCompilationInfo class. Because all properties are read/write, their values can also be assigned directly.

The CompileToAssembly method generates an assembly that contains compiled regular expressions. Therefore, you should not specify Compiled as one of the values of options.

If ispublic is true, the compiled regular expression class is given public accessibility. That is, it can be instantiated from code that executes in any assembly. If ispublic is false, the compiled regular expression class is given internal (in C#) or Friend (in Visual Basic) accessibility. That is, it can be instantiated only from code that executes in the same assembly as the regular expression class.

Notes to Callers

This constructor creates a compiled regular expression that uses the default time-out value of the application domain in which it is created. If a time-out value is defined for the application domain, the compiled regular expression uses the value InfiniteMatchTimeout, which prevents a pattern-matching operation from timing out. The recommended constructor for creating a compiled regular expression is RegexCompilationInfo(String, RegexOptions, String, String, Boolean, TimeSpan), which lets you set the time-out interval.

Public Sub New (pattern As String, options As RegexOptions, name As String, fullnamespace As String, ispublic As Boolean, matchTimeout As TimeSpan)

Parameters

pattern
String

The regular expression to compile.

options
RegexOptions

The regular expression options to use when compiling the regular expression.

name
String

The name of the type that represents the compiled regular expression.

fullnamespace
String

The namespace to which the new type belongs.

ispublic
Boolean

true to make the compiled regular expression publicly visible; otherwise, false.

matchTimeout
TimeSpan

The default time-out interval for the regular expression.

Exceptions

Examples

The following example defines a single compiled regular expression named DuplicateChars that identifies two or more occurrences of the same character in an input string. The compiled regular expression has a default time-out of 2 seconds. When you execute the example, it creates a class library named RegexLib.dll that contains the compiled regular expression.

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
        // Match two or more occurrences of the same character.
        string pattern = @"(\w)\1+";
        
        // Use case-insensitive matching. 
        var rci = new RegexCompilationInfo(pattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase,
                                           "DuplicateChars", "CustomRegexes", 
                                           true, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));

        // Define an assembly to contain the compiled regular expression.
        var an = new AssemblyName();
        an.Name = "RegexLib";
        RegexCompilationInfo[] rciList = { rci };

        // Compile the regular expression and create the assembly.
        Regex.CompileToAssembly(rciList, an);
   }
}
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions

Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
        ' Match two or more occurrences of the same character.
        Dim pattern As String = "(\w)\1+"
        
        ' Use case-insensitive matching. 
        Dim rci As New RegexCompilationInfo(pattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase,
                                            "DuplicateChars", "CustomRegexes", 
                                            True, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2))

        ' Define an assembly to contain the compiled regular expression.
        Dim an As New AssemblyName()
        an.Name = "RegexLib"
        Dim rciList As RegexCompilationInfo() = New RegexCompilationInfo() { rci }

        ' Compile the regular expression and create the assembly.
        Regex.CompileToAssembly(rciList, an)
   End Sub
End Module

The regular expression pattern (\w)\1+ is defined as shown in the following table.

Pattern Description
(\w) Match any word character and assign it to the first capturing group.
\1+ Match one or more occurrences of the value of the first captured group.

The following example uses the DuplicatedChars regular expression to identify duplicate characters in a string array. When it calls the DuplicatedChars constructor, it changes the time-out interval to .5 seconds.

using CustomRegexes;
using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      var rgx = new DuplicateChars(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(.5));

                          "loop", "Aardvark" };

      Console.WriteLine("Regex timeout value: {0} seconds\n",

That is, it can be instantiated only from code that executes in the same assembly as the regular expression class.

The matchTimeout parameter defines the default time-out interval for the compiled regular expression. This value represents the approximate amount of time that a compiled regular expression object will execute a single matching operation before the operation times out and the regular expression engine throws a RegexMatchTimeoutException exception during its next timing check. For additional information about the time-out value, see the MatchTimeout property.

Important

We recommend that you always set a default time-out value for a compiled regular expression. Consumers of your regular expression library can override that time-out value by passing a TimeSpan value that represents the new time-out interval to this constructor overload.
