Regular Expression Global Option

[murrayja]

Does anyone know how to set the 'Global' option?
The 'IgnoreCase' option is enumerated but not Global.
I am using c# Express 2005.

There is no need for a Global option when matching.
Do you refer to the global replace and in this case there are overloaded Regexe.Replace() methods.

Sure there is a need. When you want to stop the regular expression search at the first occurence.

Okay, for that you have Match class and there Match.Groups and Match.NextMatch().

The global property relates to the regular expression class.
If global is false the matching stops after one hit.
This happens while the match collection is being built.
