Regex replace and pattern match

[Badgers]

Hi,

I am opening up a text file and doing a find and replace on a number of params. On example;

ServerUrl=http://localhost/site

Instead of doing an explicit find on the whole string, I want to locate the string up to the =, and then replace the entire contents with a new value.

This is to cater for the case, if default values are changed in source control.

At present just doing a simple

contents = Regex.Replace(contents, oldValue, newValue);

Thanks inadvance.

Tim.

Have a look at

http://regexlib.com,

they have lots of already written examples for regular expressions, along with tools that let you tweak and test your expression.

Concretely what does it mean? entire contents, meaning? up to the =? or the [ignore]

http://localhost/site

[/ignore]? To me, not at all clear? Maybe only me!
