Using RegEx to Identify parts of a Database Connection String
- by David_Jarrett
I'm trying to get to grips with regular expressions:
I have a database connection string and I'd like to use a regular expression to identify specific Keys and Values within it.
For example
server=foo;database=bar;uid=foo;pwd=bar
I'd like something to return "database=bar;" using the 'database' key to identify it, ideally it would be case insensitive. I can do this using normal code, but I think that this is exactly the sort of thing for which regular expressions were designed.
