Chapter 41. System.Text.RegularExpressions

System.Text.RegularExpressions implements an object-oriented system for encapsulating regular expressions. The classes allow you to compile expressions and store matches that can be used with any .NET implementation regardless of the programming language. This namespace supports a regular expression syntax similar to Perl 5. Matches to the regular expression from an input string can be retrieved in fine granularity, allowing you to discern substring captures, groups, and multiple matches. Figure 41-1 shows the classes in this namespace.
