I have a string like this that is delimited |
and can contain any character in between:
"one two|three four five|six \| seven eight|nine"
I'd like to find a regex that returns:
one two
three four five
six | seven eight
nine
I can think about how I want to do this but, I don't know regex well enough. I basically want to match until I reach a |
that is not preceded by a \\
. How do I do this? I know there is a back tracker, but I don't know how to do it.
Essentially you want to find instances of this pattern:
@"([^|\\]|\\.)+"
This matches:
[^|\\\\]
— Any character aside from a pipe or a backslash. \\\\.
— Any character escaped with a backslash. (...|...)+
— One or more of the preceding (escaped) characters. The \\\\.
construct is nice because it lets you escape any character, in particular other backslashes. This lets you have a backslash at the end of a string, for example:
"backslash \\|forward slash /|pipe \|"
Regex.Split(input, @"(?<!\\)\|");
(?<!\\\\)
- negative lookbehind. There is no preceding \\
