C# equivalent of Java Punctuation regex

Question

I\'m looking to find the equivalent in C# for the equivalent of this regex.

Java:

public static final String expression = \"[\\\\s\\\\p{Punct}]\";


        

Answer 1

Use this:

Regex regex = new Regex(@"[\s\p{P}]");

Note in particular the use of @.

Answer 2

[\s\p{P}] matches all whitespace and punctuation. Amusingly enough, it can be found in this exact form as an example in the MSDN documentation on Character Classes. As in Java, \p{x} is used for any single character from unicode category x. See the part on Unicode Categories for a list of the possibilities other than P.
