| Regular Expression Comments
The sixteenth part of the Regular Expressions in .NET tutorial describes how comments can be added to a regular expression pattern. This allows complex patterns to include explanatory text. |
| Regular Expression Options
The fifteenth part of the Regular Expressions in .NET tutorial continues to looks at options that can be applied to regular expressions when matching and substituting text. This article looks at the use of the RegexOptions enumeration. |
| Regular Expression Inline Options

| Regular Expression Unicode Categories and Blocks
The thirteenth part of the Regular Expressions in .NET tutorial continues to describe the pattern characters used when matching and substituting text. This article looks at the matching of characters from specific Unicode general categories and code point blocks. |
| Regular Expression Substitutions
The twelfth part of the Regular Expressions in .NET tutorial looks at substitutions. These allow elements of an input string to be matched and replaced with alternative text. The replacement pattern can include literal characters and elements from the original match. |
| Regular Expression Conditional Matching
The eleventh part of the Regular Expressions in .NET tutorial looks at the conditional matching construct. This allows a regular expression to include an 'if-then-else' style condition. |
| Regular Expression Lookahead and Lookbehind
The tenth part of the Regular Expressions in .NET tutorial looks at zero-length lookahead and lookbehind assertions. These non-capturing group constructs allow patterns that find matches based upon text that precedes or follows another part of the pattern, or based upon text not being present. |
