Need some more help with RegEx to grab everything between apstrophes.

simpleonline1234 · Apr 26, 2012

My app needs to Parse the text to grab only the numbers, letters inside the apstrophes as seen below.

Code:

challenge : '03AHJ_VusHZDEr-qZYnfmRm4QbevEdYMXPLUibIP-bInEgiAPc0tk4e5MAVntRv_JbvD0q51aJOQp1FZ8RmIaMGt-Te9CSwkZyJhvSK70ZvdOA0AhPJz76t1FhXekXWIuor6YqdVwbqXSFlUSQvi9eL455ojSBkoQW_w'

My current string for this is the same as above but my regex to get only the information between these apstrophnes doesn't return a results.
Note that I am trying to get all letters and numbers [a-zA-Z0-9]. My main issue is that the code has random - and _ codes in the challenge.
How can I configure my Regex to just grab anything inside the apstrophes?
thanks

Code:

Sub RegExGet1()

        Dim value As String = "'challenge : '03AHJ_VusHZDEr-qZYnfmRm4QbevEdYMXPLUibIP-bInEgiAPc0tk4e5MAVntRv_JbvD0q51aJOQp1FZ8RmIaMGt-Te9CSwkZyJhvSK70ZvdOA0AhPJz76t1FhXekXWIuor6YqdVwbqXSFlUSQvi9eL455ojSBkoQW_w'"
         Dim m As Match = Regex.Match(ResponseIT.Text, "'challenge : '[a-zA-Z0-9]'", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
        If (m.Success) Then
            Dim key As String = m.Groups(1).Value
            KeyIt.Text = (key)
       
        End If
    End Sub

you could always try the getstringinbetween function thats floating around.

basically is searches for a given string, inbetween two strings that you set. Ive got one floating around somewhere if you need it, I didnt code it though.

First grab the contents between the apostrophes. Second, remove the non-letter and and non-digit characters.

Hey Jazzc thanks for the reply..yeah I guess that's kind of my questions what is the RegEx pattern to grab information between apostrophes?. Thanks

Code:

Dim ResultString As String
Try    
    ResultString = Regex.Match(SubjectString, "challenge : '(.*?)'").Groups(1).Value
Catch ex As ArgumentException    
    'Syntax error in the regular expression
End Try

Oh, and don't double post threads in different sections
