Is there an equivalent to 'sscanf()' in .NET?

Question

The .NET Framework gives us the Format method:

string s = string.Format(\"This {0} very {1}.\", \"is\", \"funny\");
// s is now: \"This is very funny.\"
         


        

Answer 1

Yep. These are called "regular expressions". The one that will do the thing is

This (?.+) very (?.+)\.
