This should do it:<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-42920163-1">(?&lt;=[/(][^//]*)([//])(?=[^//]*[/)])</code></pre>
The middle group will only match if the prefix and suffix are both present.

This should do it:


(?<=[/(][^//]*)([//])(?=[^//]*[/)])

The middle group will only match if the prefix and suffix are both present.

I am not an expert of regular expression but why can we not use simply this?<br />

Subodh, the primary reason is because it would match things like (...) / (...) where there are parens on both sides but the slash is not within them.

Yes, that makes sense.<br />

I proposed that pattern based on the sample data only. :)

Regular Expression to detect &quot;/&quot; within &quot;( )&quot;.

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
