Regex: match word that ends with "Id"
C#RegexC# Problem Overview
I need help putting together a regex that will match word that ends with "Id" with case sensitive match.
C# Solutions
Solution 1 - C#
Try this regular expression:
\w*Id\b
\w* allows word characters in front of Id and the \b ensures that Id is at the end of the word (\b is word boundary assertion).
Solution 2 - C#
Gumbo gets my vote, however, the OP doesn't specify whether just "Id" is an allowable word, which means I'd make a minor modification:
\w+Id\b
1 or more word characters followed by "Id" and a breaking space. The [a-zA-Z] variants don't take into account non-English alphabetic characters. I might also use \s instead of \b as a space rather than a breaking space. It would depend if you need to wrap over multiple lines.
Solution 3 - C#
How about \A[a-z]*Id\z? [This makes characters before Id optional. Use \A[a-z]+Id\z if there needs to be one or more characters preceding Id.]
Solution 4 - C#
This may do the trick:
\b\p{L}*Id\b
Where \p{L} matches any (Unicode) letter and \b matches a word boundary.
Solution 5 - C#
I would use
\b[A-Za-z]*Id\b
The \b matches the beginning and end of a word i.e. space, tab or newline, or the beginning or end of a string.
The [A-Za-z] will match any letter, and the * means that 0+ get matched. Finally there is the Id.
Note that this will match words that have capital letters in the middle such as 'teStId'.
I use http://www.regular-expressions.info/ for regex reference
Solution 6 - C#
Regex ids = new Regex(@"\w*Id\b", RegexOptions.None);
\b means "word break" and \w means any word character. So \w*Id\b means "{stuff}Id". By not including RegexOptions.IgnoreCase, it will be case sensitive.
