I would like to make a pattern.
For example, my input is
string str = "15-16-00-014716 AND15- [ ] (5) Description of 16-00-014715";
Expected output is
15-16-00-014716 AND15-16-00-014715
I tried below regex:
Regex.Replace(YourString, @"\s+\[.*(?=\b\d+)","");
But the output is like
15-16-00-014716 AND15-0-014715
You may use
Regex.Replace(str, @"\s+\[.*?(?=\b\d+(?:-|$))", "")
See the C# demo and the regex demo .
Regex graph:
Main points:
.*
should be non-greedy ( .*?
matches as few any chars as possible) (?:-|$)
matches a -
char or end of string position.
