QuickStart! - .NET Regular Expressions

Regular expressions provide a powerful, flexible, and efficient method for processing text. The extensive pattern-matching notation of regular expressions enables you to quickly parse large amounts of text to find specific character patterns; to validate text to ensure that it matches a predefined pattern (such as an e-mail address); to extract, edit, replace, or delete text substrings; and to add the extracted strings to a collection in order to generate a report. For many applications that deal with strings or that parse large blocks of text, regular expressions are an indispensable tool.rnrn<p>In this QuickStart! on Microsoft\'s .NET Regular Expressions implementation, Mark Long introduces you to the concept and basic usage of Regular Expressions in Microsoft\'s .NET development environment.
