System.Text.RegularExpressions Namespace

The System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace contains classes that provide access to the .NET Framework regular expression engine. The namespace provides regular expression functionality that may be used from any platform or language that runs within the Microsoft .NET Framework. In addition to the types contained in this namespace, the System.Configuration..::.RegexStringValidator class enables you to determine whether a particular string conforms to a regular expression pattern.

Classes

	Class	Description

	CaptureCollection	Represents a sequence of capture substrings. CaptureCollection returns the set of captures done by a single capturing group.
	Group	Group represents the results from a single capturing group. A capturing group can capture zero, one, or more strings in a single match because of quantifiers, so Group supplies a collection of Capture objects.
	GroupCollection	Represents a collection of captured groups. GroupCollection returns the set of captured groups in a single match.
	Match	Represents the results from a single regular expression match.
	MatchCollection	Represents the set of successful matches found by iteratively applying a regular expression pattern to the input string.
	Regex	Represents an immutable regular expression.
	RegexCompilationInfo	Provides information about a regular expression that is used to compile a regular expression to a stand-alone assembly.
	RegexRunner	Infrastructure. The RegexRunner class is the base class for compiled regular expressions.
	RegexRunnerFactory	Infrastructure. Creates a RegexRunner class for a compiled regular expression.
