How to get the count of only special character in a string using Regex?

Question

If my input string is ~!@#$%^&*()_+{}:\"<>?

How do I get the count of each special character using Regex? For example:

Regex.Match         


        

Answer 1

This should be the answer to your question:

Regex.Matches("Little?~ birds! like to@ sing##", "[~!@#$%^&*()_+{}:\"<>?]").Count

Count should return 6 matches, change the sentence to other variable or something else.
