Regular Expression for separate a string

HI..Here I have to share an regular expression usage for split text from string…..Normally we can split a string some character .In some cases we have mix with number of characters…For that situation we can use regex expression to separate a string….

Here some example…

(test1) “"test2"” ANY(test) AND(test) (raj:test5 AND Test=test6) &animaltiger&

For this word we want to separate as each word we use reular expression

(test1)

“"test2"”

 ANY(test)

AND(test)

(raj:test5 AND Test=test6)

&animaltiger&

By using regex we can separate like above….

The Code as follows…….

VB CODE

Dim result As New List(Of String)

        Dim str As String

        str = "(test1) ""test2"" ANY(test) AND(test) (raj:test5 AND Test=test6) &animaltiger&"

        Dim t As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(str, "[""].+?[""]|[^\s]*?[(].+?[)]|[&].+?[&]")

        For Each itm As Match In t

            result.Add(itm.Value)

        Next

C# code

  List<string> result = new List<string>();

            string s = @"(test1) ""test2"" ANY(test) AND(test) (raj:test5 AND Test=test6) &animaltiger&";

           

            MatchCollection t = Regex.Matches(s, @"[""].+?[""]|[^\s]*?[(].+?[)]");

           

            foreach (Match  itm in t)

            {

                result.Add(itm.Value);

            }

I hope this one helpful to all
