Regex for filename

sampath meka

Hello All,

My question is i have following file names where it process based on the extension type using regular expression only.

myname.c

myname.csi

myname.ctr

myname.hsi

myname.h

myname.htr

For the above strings if we apply regular expression the output should be

myname.c

myname.h

I want only file name with extension .c and .h only

Thanks & Regards,

Sampath

I was just about to post a reply to your other thread when I saw that you'd closed it.

This VBS script is working OK for me:

Dim a
a = Array("myname.c","myname.csi","myname.ctr","myname.hsi","myname.h","myname.htr")
Set reg = New RegExp
reg.Multiline = False
reg.Global = False
reg.Pattern = "^.+[.][ch]$"
For Each s in a
Set mc = reg.Execute(s)
For Each m in mc
Wscript.echo m.Value
Next
Next

The output is:

myname.c
myname.h

Really, really impolite to close that other thread. But I suppose that you did not want to hear that you could do a little research yourself. Analyze the code that I gave you, do a little search on the MSDN website and you would have found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3y21t6y4%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

But OK, here is my first program in VB

    Sub Main()

        Dim re As New Regex("^.+[.][ch]$")

        Dim filenames() = {
        "myname.c",
        "myname.csi",
        "myname.ctr",
        "myname.hsi",
        "myname.h",
        "myname.htr"}

        For Each name As String In filenames
            Console.Write(name & " ")
            Console.WriteLine(re.IsMatch(name))
        Next

        Console.ReadLine()

    End Sub
