Visual Basic 正则表达式
正则表达式 是可以与输入文本匹配的模式。.Net framework 提供了支持此类匹配的正则表达式引擎。模式由一个或多个字符文本、运算符或构造组成。
用于定义正则表达式的构造
有各种类型的字符、运算符和结构可用于定义正则表达式。

Regex 类
Regex 类用于表示正则表达式。
Regex 类有以下常用方法:
| 编号 | 方法 & 描述 |
|---|---|
| 1 | Public Function IsMatch (input As String) As Boolean 表示正则表达式构造函数中指定的正则表达式是否在指定的输入字符串中找到匹配项。 |
| 2 | Public Function IsMatch (input As String, startat As Integer ) As Boolean 表示正则表达式构造函数中指定的正则表达式是否在指定的输入字符串中找到匹配项,从字符串中指定的起始位置开始。 |
| 3 | Public Shared Function IsMatch (input As String, pattern As String ) As Boolean 表示指定的正则表达式是否在指定的输入字符串中找到匹配项。 |
| 4 | Public Function Matches (input As String) As MatchCollection 在指定的输入字符串中搜索正则表达式的所有匹配项。 |
| 5 | Public Function Replace (input As String, replacement As String) As String 在指定的输入字符串中,用指定的替换字符串替换与正则表达式模式匹配的所有字符串。 |
| 6 | Public Function Split (input As String) As String() 在正则表达式构造函数中指定的正则表达式模式定义的位置,将输入字符串拆分为子字符串数组。 |

实例 1
以下实例匹配以 'S' 开头的单词:
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressionsModule regexProgSub showMatch(ByVal text As String, ByVal expr As String)Console.WriteLine("The Expression: " + expr)Dim mc As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(text, expr)Dim m As MatchFor Each m In mcConsole.WriteLine(m)Next mEnd SubSub Main()Dim str As String = "A Thousand Splendid Suns"Console.WriteLine("Matching words that start with 'S': ")showMatch(str, "\bS\S*")Console.ReadKey()End SubEnd Module
结果如下:
Matching words that start with 'S':The Expression: \bS\S*SplendidSuns
实例 2
以下实例匹配以 'm' 开头、以 'e' 结尾的单词:
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressionsModule regexProgSub showMatch(ByVal text As String, ByVal expr As String)Console.WriteLine("The Expression: " + expr)Dim mc As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(text, expr)Dim m As MatchFor Each m In mcConsole.WriteLine(m)Next mEnd SubSub Main()Dim str As String = "make a maze and manage to measure it"Console.WriteLine("Matching words that start with 'm' and ends with 'e': ")showMatch(str, "\bm\S*e\b")Console.ReadKey()End SubEnd Module
结果如下:
Matching words start with 'm' and ends with 'e':The Expression: \bm\S*e\bmakemazemanagemeasure
实例 3
此实例替换额外的空白:
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressionsModule regexProgSub Main()Dim input As String = "Hello World "Dim pattern As String = "\\s+"Dim replacement As String = " "Dim rgx As Regex = New Regex(pattern)Dim result As String = rgx.Replace(input, replacement)Console.WriteLine("Original String: {0}", input)Console.WriteLine("Replacement String: {0}", result)Console.ReadKey()End SubEnd Module
结果如下:
Original String: Hello WorldReplacement String: Hello World
