Find occurrences of string and replace using C#

Question

I have a huge string in json format.

the problem is it is not well formatted.

What i want to do is to find occurrences of some tags and replace it's values with some other values

What i want to search for is this string "distanceP":\\somtext, and "distance":\\sometext,

i want these two string to be replace with "distanceP":"\\somtext", and "distance":"\\sometext",

The string could be LIKE "distanceP":\ᘳ, OR "distance":\\u16asa3, OR "distanceP":\ᘳsass,

Please not the quotation marks and back-slash signs are included.

Can anyone please tell me REGEXP expression to search and replace with my own values.

Answer 1

Have you tried string.Replace("\\"distanceP\\":\\\\", "\\"distance\\":\\\\") ? The \\ in the string escapes the next character, in effect forcing it to be part of the string as a literal. So \\\\ turns into \\ in the string. And Replace will do what you're looking for, replace a given string with another string. I don't think you need RegEx for this.
