I am trying to replace a bunch of strings in files. The strings are stored in a datatable along with the new string value.
string contents = File.ReadAllText(file);
foreach (DataRow dr in FolderRenames.Rows)
{
contents = Regex.Replace(contents, dr["find"].ToString(), dr["replace"].ToString());
File.SetAttributes(file, FileAttributes.Normal);
File.WriteAllText(file, contents);
}
The strings look like this _-uUa, -_uU, _-Ha etc.
The problem that I am having is when for example this string "_uU" will also overwrite "_-uUa" so the replacement would look like "newvaluea"
Is there a way to tell regex to look at the next character after the found string and make sure it is not an alphanumeric character?
I hope it is clear what I am trying to do here.
Here is some sample data:
private function _-0iX(arg1:flash.events.Event):void
{
if (arg1.type == flash.events.Event.RESIZE)
{
if (this._-2GU)
{
this._-yu(this._-2GU);
}
}
return;
}
The next characters could be ;, (, ), dot, comma, space, :, etc.
