Parsing windows 'ipconfig /all' output

Question

I am having a bit of trouble parsing the output of \'ipconfig /all\' using a regex. Currently I am using RegexBuddy for testing, but I want to use the regex in C#.NET.

Why use regex? Your input is in simple key-value format. Use something along the lines of

foreach (var line in lines)
{
   var index  = line.IndexOf (':') ;
   if (index <= 0) continue ; // skip empty lines

   var key   = line.Substring (0,  index).TrimEnd (' ', '.') ;
   var value = line.Substring (index + 1).Replace ("(Preferred)", "").Trim () ;
}
