regular expression

[puzzlecracker]

Guys,

I am starting to use regular expressions in csharp. Would someone
explain the following code snippet, as to how it actually parses
things ?

Regex Spliter = new Regex(@"^-{1,2}|^/|=|:",
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase|RegexOptions.Compiled);

Regex Remover = new Regex(@"^['""]?(.*?)['""]?$",
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase|RegexOptions.Compiled);


Thanks

RegexOptions.IgnoreCase|RegexOptions.Compiled);

line start
1 or 2 dashes or hat slash or equals or colon

Regex Remover = new Regex(@"^['""]?(.*?)['""]?$",
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase|RegexOptions.Compiled);

line start
single or double quote or nothing
anything but not greedy so will stop at first match of the following
single or double quote or nothing
line end
