Regular Expressions Named capture groups What a named capture group looks like
Example
Given the flavors, the named capture group may looks like this:
(?'name'X)
(?<name>X)
(?P<name>X)
With X being the pattern you want to capture. Let's consider the following string:
Once upon a time there was a pretty little girl...
Once upon a time there was a unicorn with an hat...
Once upon a time there was a boat with a pirate flag...
In which I want to capture the subject (in italic) of every lines. I'll use the following expression .* was a (?<subject>[\w ]+)[.]{3}.
The matching result will hold:
MATCH 1
subject [29-47] `pretty little girl`
MATCH 2
subject [80-99] `unicorn with an hat`
MATCH 3
subject [132-155] `boat with a pirate flag`
