A custom method that examines each match and returns either the original matched string or a replacement string.

A new string that is identical to the input string, except that a replacement string takes the place of each matched string.The regular expression is the pattern defined by the constructor for the current Regex object. The evaluator parameter is the delegate for a custom method that you define and that examines each match. Your custom method returns a string that replaces the matched input.
The following code example displays an original string, matches each word in the original string, converts the first character of each match to uppercase, then displays the converted string.
using System; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; class RegExSample { static string CapText(Match m) { // Get the matched string. string x = m.ToString(); // If the first char is lower case... if (char.IsLower(x[0])) { // Capitalize it. return char.ToUpper(x[0]) + x.Substring(1, x.Length - 1); } return x; } static void Main() { string text = "four score and seven years ago"; System.Console.WriteLine("text=[" + text + "]"); Regex rx = new Regex(@"\w+"); string result = rx.Replace(text, new MatchEvaluator(RegExSample.CapText)); System.Console.WriteLine("result=[" + result + "]"); } }
