Regex and the period? 1

[G00GLER]

Quick question, i want to replace the webaddress to reflect the new location in 118 sql text fields. so i am reading them in, doing regex.replace so I can do an update the text fields.

The following works:

messageReplaced = Regex.Replace(message, "intranet", "dcintranet");

However this desired code doesn't work at all.

messageReplaced = Regex.Replace(message, "intranet.webaddress.com", "dcintranet.webaddress.com");

I assume it's something simple with the period.

the period is a character which denotes any character (like * in windaz) . you need to escape it as \.
