Checking Birthday By Regular Expression

Introduction

 

The example tries to match birthdays to a regular expression. For demonstration purposes, the expression matches only birthdays that do not occur in April and that belong to people whose names begin with "k".

// create regular expression
Regex expression = new Regex(@"K.*\d[0-35-9]-\d\d-\d\d");
string string1 = "Kanhu's Birthday is 05-12-75\n" + "Panchanan's Birthday is 11-04-68\n" + "Suraj's Birthday is 04-28-73\n" +"Kailash's Birthday is 12-17-77";
// match regular expression to string and
// print out all matches
foreach (Match myMatch in expression.Matches(string1))
Console.WriteLine(myMatch);
Console.ReadLine();
