I have a string: "Remote Company 10LC"

 

How would I use Regex to extract the 10LC?

Do you have a list of strings that you want to process? To use regex like that you would really need a more general format. Do you want to extract the last four chars in a string? Any occurances of two digits followed by two letters? The third word in each string?

Its a really long string, and I want to extract a couple key expressions, such as the example above. I guess I need to

1. Check that the expression exists

2. Extract it.

3. Replace the expression with something more meaningful.

 

For example, I have a paragraph (it's an error message), and I want to replace:

 

"Remote Company 10LC"

 

with

 

"London"

Seems the String.IndexOf and String.Replace functions are enough to do the job.

Of, IndexOf, is plenty enough, but I was just asking if there was a better way to do it with Regex, as I'm replacing quite a few of these strings in a body of text.
