Match and replace

Question

I have a long string and within that string I have the following text:

\"formatter\": \"SomeInformationHere\"

I need to fi

Answer 1

Use this:

string longString = @"""formatter"": ""SomeInformationHere""";
string pattern = "(\"formatter\": )([\"])(.*)([\"])";
string result = Regex.Replace(longString, pattern, "$1$3");

This replaces all found matches with the second and the fourth sub group of the match. The complete match is the first sub group ($0) and all parts in parenthesis create a new sub group.
