Return the whole line that contains a match using regular expressions in c#

Question

Suppose I have the following string:

string input = \"Hello world\\n\" + 
               \"Hello foobar world\\n\" +
               \"Hello foo world\\n\";
         


        

Answer 1

Yes, this is possible. You can use the following:

Regex.Matches(input, @".*(YourSuppliedRegexHere).*");

This works because the . character matches anything but the newline (\n) chracter.
