Regex: Repeated capturing groups

Question

I have to parse some tables from an ASCII text file. Here\'s a partial sample:

QSMDRYCELL   11.00   11.10   11.00   11.00    -.90      11     11000     1.212         


        

Answer 1

In C# (modified from this example):

string input = "QSMDRYCELL   11.00   11.10   11.00   11.00    -.90      11     11000     1.212";
string pattern = @"^(\S+)\s+(\s+[\d.-]+){8}$";
Match match = Regex.Match(input, pattern, RegexOptions.MultiLine);
if (match.Success) {
   Console.WriteLine("Matched text: {0}", match.Value);
   for (int ctr = 1; ctr < match.Groups.Count; ctr++) {
      Console.WriteLine("   Group {0}:  {1}", ctr, match.Groups[ctr].Value);
      int captureCtr = 0;
      foreach (Capture capture in match.Groups[ctr].Captures) {
         Console.WriteLine("      Capture {0}: {1}", 
                           captureCtr, capture.Value);
         captureCtr++; 
      }
   }
}

Output:

Matched text: QSMDRYCELL   11.00   11.10   11.00   11.00    -.90      11     11000     1.212
...
    Group 2:      1.212
         Capture 0:  11.00
         Capture 1:    11.10
         Capture 2:    11.00
...etc.
