Reg Expressions....

[Amith Singh]

Hello All,
I would like to write a function which reads a string and adds one blank
space if any word is greater than 50 characters. How to write these kind of
functions using regular expressions.
Thanks,
Amith

Where do you want to place the blank space?

Regex r = new Regex(@"(?<string>\S{50,})", RegexOptions.Compiled |
RegexOptions.Multiline | RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture);
string newString = r.Replace(YOURSTRINGHERE, "${string} ");


that should work.

My example simply added a string to the word that had more than 50
characters


hello this is a veryveryvery... long string
would do -->
hello this is a veryveryvery...<SPACE> long string

But Lucas is right, the requirements weren't all that clear...

My requirement is, in a string if any word is more than 50 characetrs add
one blank space and continue with the rest of the string. To have a string
which do not have any word more than 50 characters. The idea is to split the
word.
Thanks,

The code I gave almost does this, just get rid of the comma after the 50 -->
Regex r = new Regex(@"(?<string>\S{50})", RegexOptions.Compiled |
RegexOptions.Multiline | RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture);
string newString = r.Replace(YOURSTRINGHERE, "${string} ");
