Is this a bug in .NET's Regex.Split?
I have two regular expressions, for use with Regex.Split : (?<=\G[^,],[^,],) and (?<=\G([^,],){2}) When splitting the string "A,B,C,D,E,F,G," , the first one results in: A,B, C,D, E,F, G, and the second results in: A,B, A, C,D, C, E,F, E, G, What is going on here? I thought that (X){2} was always equivalent to XX , but I'm not sure anymore. In my actual problem, I need to do something like quite a bit more complex, and I need to do it sixty nine times, so just repeating the pattern is less than ideal. From the documentation for Regex.Split If capturing parentheses are used in a Regex.Split
