Regular Expression Help

Replacing brackets [

[digitalv]

I'm trying to set a RegEx pattern [quote] for replacement later. How do I do this? It's treating the brackets as part of the RegEx code and not as text and I'm not sure what to do to get around that.

you need to use the escape character

\[
or
\]

MSDN has a list of all the special characters.

Ok last RegEx question for a while ... how can I turn this:

[link]http://www.sample.com[/link]

into this:

<a href="http://www.sample.com">http://www.sample.com</a>

Using a regular expression?

[TheNige]

Regex.Replace("http://www.example.com","(\bhttp://[^ ]+\b)", "<a href=""$0"">$0</a>")

you'll have to figure out the [link] tags in the replace.
