Example
The following code illustrates how to find and parse dates in US format using Regular Expression pattern matching:
document.AppendText("12\\14\\2014" + Environment.NewLine);
IRegexSearchResult result;
string pattern = @"(?<mm>\d{2}).(?<dd>\d{2}).(?<yyyy>\d{4})";
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex myRegEx =
new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(pattern);
result = document.StartSearch(myRegEx);
if (result.FindNext())
{
string dayFound = result.Match.Groups[2].Value;
string monthFound = result.Match.Groups[1].Value;
string yearFound = result.Match.Groups[3].Value;
document.AppendText(String.Format("Found a date that is the {0} day of the {1} month of the {2} year.",
dayFound, monthFound, yearFound));
}
