hi
i have a document in which i have to find word "Foto" in between the "<" and ">" tags. i used this regex

C#

"<(?:\w*)?Foto(?:\w*)?>"

this is working fine if there is a string with only alphabetic words in between the tags, but is there is any speacial character then it fails to find.like this..

<hello world Foto:abc> ..... Find ok
<hello "world Foto:abc>.....Find fail

Choudhary has a good answer. To help you further check out some of these sites. A very helpful site is regexlib[^]; they have a large library of Regular Expressions. They also have a RegEx tester[^]. Also a very useful RegEx tool is available here[^]

Hello Choudhary,

\w in regex means: any word character (letter, number, underscore)
you may use . (dot) that means: any single character

Good luck,
Edo
