Help me use Regex...

[Terry Olsen]

I have a string containing this:

MyDisk (C\MyDirectory\MyFile.txt

I need to change it to:

C:\MyDirectory\MyFile.txt

What, if any, Regex string would help me do this?

Thanks.

Terry,

I am absolute no Regex expert. Moreover I hate all kind of expressions.

However, maybe I help you with these two links.

RegexLib
http://www.regexlib.com/Default.aspx

Expresso
http://www.ultrapico.com/Expresso.htm

I hope this helps a little bit?

What if.....(just try)

stringFrom = "MyDisk (C\MyDirectory\MyFile.txt"
stringTo = stringFrom.Substring(stringFrom.IndexOf("(") + 1).Replace(")",
"")

Works on my VS.NET but just for this string....

I think that regular expressions are far oversized for this problem
