Capturing everything before a \n
I attached the text I need to parse. What I need to do is capture each line individually (there should be 4) using regular expressions. Here is the regex I have now: \n.*
It will capture everything but not the top line.

That matches everything. I need to have a MatchCollection consisting of each row seperated.
Note that there is also a flag called RegexOptions.Multiline that you could set to treat the ^$ boundaries per line.
Try:
using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpress
namespace myapp
{
class Class1
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
String sourcestring = "source string to match with pattern";
Regex re = new Regex(@".*");
MatchCollection mc = re.Matches(sourcestring);
int mIdx = 0;
foreach (Match m in mc)
{
for (int gIdx = 0; gIdx < m.Groups.Count; gIdx++)
{
Console.WriteLine("[" + mIdx + "][" + re.GetGroupNames()[gIdx] + "] = " + m.Groups[gIdx].Value);
}
}
}
}
}
Or:
using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpress
namespace myapp
{
class Class1
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
String sourcestring = "source string to match with pattern";
Regex re = new Regex(@"^.*$",RegexOptions
MatchCollection mc = re.Matches(sourcestring);
int mIdx = 0;
foreach (Match m in mc)
{
for (int gIdx = 0; gIdx < m.Groups.Count; gIdx++)
{
Console.WriteLine("[" + mIdx + "][" + re.GetGroupNames()[gIdx] + "] = " + m.Groups[gIdx].Value);
}
}
}
}
}
using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpress
namespace myapp
{
class Class1
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
String sourcestring = "source string to match with pattern";
Regex re = new Regex(@".*");
MatchCollection mc = re.Matches(sourcestring);
int mIdx = 0;
foreach (Match m in mc)
{
for (int gIdx = 0; gIdx < m.Groups.Count; gIdx++)
{
Console.WriteLine("[" + mIdx + "][" + re.GetGroupNames()[gIdx] + "] = " + m.Groups[gIdx].Value);
}
}
}
}
}

Is there a way to do it using just regular expressions? The regex is part of the config file. I don't have access to the actual source code for the project at the moment.

That was almost exactly what I was looking for.
Here is the final expression: .*\r\n
It seems to be working right. Do you see any issue with this?

.*\r\n would only catch the first lines 1-3, assuming that 4 does not end in \r\n. That's what |$ is meant to catch.
If you concatenated chr(13) & chr(10) to the string before processing it, then .*\r\n would work fine (since that would add a \r\n to the last line).
ASKER
got it, I'll make the changes to mine. Thanks!
If you could specify something else about the start of the lines you could avoid conc. \r\n if you use something like:
\d+:.*?(?=\r\n|$)
\d+:.*?(?=\r\n|$)
Thanks for the question and the points.
(where . would match any char except \n - as long as no RegexOptions.Singleline flag is set )
