Regular Expressions and Escapeing

[memespring]

When you rite a regular expression does it need to match escaped or unescaped text? (i.e. with all the \", \n\t).

This is doing my head in : )

I would recommend splitting the text up into lines and using the regex on each line.

this would remove the confusion all together.

I wish I could, but I'm trying to scrape a webpage where I dont know the contents of each line.

Ive got a working RegEx (working in a tester tool anyway) but it wont work within C#.

Only put it in the regex if you want to match on it.
