RegEx - More Requirements
Releated to earlier question(s):
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22034295/RegEx-Remove-Trailing-Spaces-on-Line.html
Starting fresh, with some additional requirements. There are a bunch of lines, ending with with "\r\n", that are in a long string. The replacement string needs to:
+ remove "//" and anything after it (could also see just "//\r\n", with no text on line after the "//")
+ remove tab ("\t") characters
+ remove blank lines (either with OR without whitespace before the "\r\n")
+ remove leading whitespace at beginning of line
+ remove trailing whitespace at end of line

Right, all of the \t in the whole string. Just delete them.
Right now, I have like 5 lines of code to do this and trying to reduce to one. Not just for analysis-paralysis, but to help learn RegEx in the background. :)

You do not need to replace \t with any other character?
ASKER
Correct. It gets stripped. It was a carryover from a tab-delimited file, but the tabs are not significant -- it now is space separated and newlines.

Something like this at the moment:
cleanedText = Regex.Replace(cleanedText,
I used the brackets because there had been other characters in the set as well. Now, just the tab.
cleanedText = Regex.Replace(cleanedText,
I used the brackets because there had been other characters in the set as well. Now, just the tab.

Touche!
Glad I was able to help. ;=)
Whe you say, "remove tab ("\t") characters", That is all \t in the string data?
