Answer 1

your spec is vague, but this regex

 

\([^)]*\).*?\([^)]*\)

 

would match on both words in your input and everything in between them

 

c# code for regex object: [watch RegexOptions.Singleline]

 

//  using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

/// <summary>
///  Regular expression built for C# on: Fri, May 11, 2007, 02:56:22 PM
///  Using Expresso Version: 2.1.2150, http://www.ultrapico.com
/// 
///  A description of the regular expression:
/// 
///  \([^)]*\).*?\([^)]*\)
///      (
///      Any character other than ), any number of repetitions
///      )
///      Any character, any number of repetitions, as few as possible
///      (
///      Any character other than ), any number of repetitions
///      )
/// 
/// 
/// </summary>
public static Regex regex = new Regex(
    @"\([^)]*\).*?\([^)]*\)",
    RegexOptions.IgnoreCase
    | RegexOptions.Singleline
    );

Answer 2

This doesn't require a regular expression.

 

If want to check if full words match, just compare them.

Answer 3

What i meant was that i want to match everything in between the word.

From: (hex) .......To: (str)

Whatever is between these two words i want to match.

 

Here is an exampel of what I want to do and here is what it looks like:

 

----------------------------- here is what it looks like---------------------------------

    serial number      (hex)41303633343630383530202020
                       (str)A063460850

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

-----------------------------here is how I want it to look like-----------------------

    serial number  A063460850

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

So basically I want to clean this "string" in csharp.

Answer 4

to do that u need to match with this regex

 

\(hex\).*?\(str\)

 

and replace the match i.e text *** (hex)41303633343630383530202020(str)  ***

with an empty str. The result will be

 

serial number  A063460850

 

don't forget to use SingleLine ON
