I like to know how to replace a regex-match of unknown amount of equal-signs, thats not less than 2... to the same amount of underscores
So far I got this:
A much less clear answer (in term of code clarity):
text = Regex.Replace(text, "=(?==)|(?<==)=", "_");
If there are more than 2 =
in a row, then at every =
, we will find a =
ahead or behind.
This only works if the language supports look-behind, which includes C#, Java, Python, PCRE... and excludes JavaScript.
However, since you can pass a function to String.replace
function in JavaScript, you can write code similar to Alexei Levenkov's answer. Actually, Alexei Levenkov's answer works in many languages (well, except Java).
