c# - Unable to use verbatim string in Regex constructor instantiation -
i'm attempting new-up regex object using pattern. string pattern , original regex below:
string search = "root\\hill"; var regex = new regex(search, regexoptions.ignorecase); this throws system.argumentexception exception i'd convert pattern verbatim string. i've tried this:
var regex = new regex(@search, regexoptions.ignorecase); and this:
string verbatim = @search; var regex = new regex(verbatim , regexoptions.ignorecase); but no avail. both throw same exception. when i'm debugging, putting "raw" string in regex constructor (eg. new regex(@"root\\hill", regexoptions.ignorecase)) works, search value changes of course.
how can use verbatim string variable?
the @ sign must before string literal, not before variable name:
string search = @"root\\hill"; var regex = new regex(search, regexoptions.ignorecase); putting @ sign before identifier way use language keyword identifier, it's unrelated verbatim strings.
