Hi,

I need your expert help. I'm trying to find a regular expression to replace all text between quotes "{#ANY_TEXT#}"

For example, if I have string like "This is a test {#ANY_TEXT#} string". I need to replace everything starting from {#...#} with another value. For example, If I want to make it blank, then end result should be "This is a test string". There could be several instances of this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Since this may leave an extra space, can we assume that {#ANY_TEX#} will never be at the start of string or at the end? Or can it be?. In other words we can also do something like this in your example to eliminate that.

String word = "This is a test {#ANY_TEXT#} string";
String pattern = @"\{[^\}]*\}\s(\w)";
word = Regex.Replace(word, pattern, "$1");
Console.WriteLine(word);
Console.ReadLine();

This is good enough for me. Thanks so much for your help and quick response!!!!

Or:

String word = "{#ANY_TEXT#} This is a test {#ANY_TEXT#} string {#ANY_TEXT#}";
String pattern = @"\s?\{[^\}]*\}";
word = Regex.Replace(word, pattern, "");
Console.WriteLine(word.Trim());
Console.ReadLine();
