Looping through Regex Matches

Answer 1

For future reference I want to document the above code converted to using a declarative approach as a LinqPad code snippet:

var sourceString = @"<box><3>
<table><1>
<chair><8>";
var count = 0;
var ItemRegex = new Regex(@"<(?<item>[^>]+)><(?<count>[^>]*)>", RegexOptions.Compiled);
var OrderList = ItemRegex.Matches(sourceString)
                    .Cast<Match>()
                    .Select(m => new
                    {
                        Name = m.Groups["item"].ToString(),
                        Count = int.TryParse(m.Groups["count"].ToString(), out count) ? count : 0,
                    })
                    .ToList();
OrderList.Dump();

With output:

Answer 2

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string sourceString = @"<box><3>
<table><1>
<chair><8>";
        Regex ItemRegex = new Regex(@"<(?<item>\w+?)><(?<count>\d+?)>", RegexOptions.Compiled);
        foreach (Match ItemMatch in ItemRegex.Matches(sourceString))
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ItemMatch);
        }

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Returns 3 matches for me. Your problem must be elsewhere.
