C＃查找并替换长字符串中的价格

Question

I have a long string representing a web page in html, I have to change the price of a product detail, the string to be replaced would be like this: 10.20 € or 100.22 € or 1.50 € etc. the price may vary so the replace must work with any amount. How can I find and replace this price? The only code I found is this:

Regex.Replace(input, "[0-9].[0-9][0-9]", "");

but it is not based on the € symbol and therefore could find other similar numbers in the string and replace them and especially if in case there is a number with more digits it does not replace all the digits thanks you

Solution by @Kenny:

var output = Regex.Replace(input, "[0-9]*.[0-9]* €", "");

thanks

Answer 1

If you are deadset on using a REGEX, all you would have to do is add a positive lookahead to your existing regex. It would look like this:

Regex.Replace(input, "[0-9]*.[0-9][0-9](?=\s€)", "");

As you can see, the (?=\\s€) Checks to make sure that a euro symbol is present. To experiment more with regexes, you can use this website: regexr.com

The above answer also is dependant on how your HTML euro characters are encoded. You should check we're matching the right one!

Answer 2

You may use

var output = Regex.Replace(input, @"[0-9]+(?:\.[0-9]+)?\s*€", "");

Details

• [0-9]+ - 1+digits
• (?:\\.[0-9]+)? - an optional substring matching
  • \\. - a dot (it must be escaped to match a literal dot)
  • [0-9]+ - 1+ digits
• \\s* - 0+ whitespaces
• € - an euro sign.
