I'm trying to use Regex to find a substring. Here's an example of the source string:
<MarkupSummary Version="1.0" Document="E2576_1.pdf">
What I want to do is to extract the E2576_1.pdf substring but just can't get it right.
Regex rx = new Regex("Document=\"" + @"(\w+<docName>)" + "\"", RegexOptions.Compiled);
Match match = rx.Match(fileContents);
if (!match.Success)
// Do error stuff.
else
FileSource = match.Groups["docName"].Value;
What should the syntax be?
As an aside, I am sorely reminded of the old programmer's saying, "If you have a problem and try to solve it with Regex then you'll end up with two problems."
