This is my yearly request for fixed with fonts in code blocks. Why is this still an issue?
The below example is one I just used and *sigh* the
- #'s in the pattern don't line up
- The C# extension methods don't line up via the period(.).
- The final output doesn't line up by the :
but they do in Visual studio.
string data = @"Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;Integrated Security=SSPI;User ID=myDomain\myUsername;Password=myPassword";
string pattern = @"
(?<Key>[^=]+) # Put the first text into the Key capture group
(?:\=\s*) # Match but don't capture the = and any space
(?<Value>[^;]+) # Get all text til the end of string which is not a ;
(?:;?) # Match but don't capture a ; if it exists";
// IgnorePatternWhitespace only applies to the pattern so we can comment it; not regex parsing!
Regex.Matches( data, pattern, RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace )
.OfType<Match>()
.ToDictionary( mt => mt.Groups["Key"].Value, mt => mt.Groups["Value"].Value )
.ToList() // To do the foreach below
.ForEach( kvp => Console.WriteLine( "{0,-20} : {1}", kvp.Key, kvp.Value ) );
/* Output
Data Source : myServerAddress
Initial Catalog : myDataBase
Integrated Security : SSPI
User ID : myDomain\myUsername
Password : myPassword
