Hi Guys,

Need quick help to resolve my issue. I have a string say "Sunday Monday100". Now I need to remove Monday from this string and need output as Sunday100.

I need to do it through regex. Can you guys help me out.

Thanks,
Simran

I need the solution in Rubular.com as that works as per my tool. I can not write replace or use console coz I need to write regex string to manipulate the value.

Currently in Rubular.com
Your regular expression:
(^.*)-?(Monday)(.*)$

Your test string:
Sunday Monday100

Match result:
Sunday Monday100

Match groups:
1. Sunday
2. Monday
3. 100

What I want in Rubular.com is:

Your test string:
Sunday Monday100

Match result:
Sunday Monday100

Match groups:
1. Sunday100



Any quick help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Simran

What I have tried:

(^.*)-?(Monday)(.*)$

but this gives me output as
1. Sunday
2. Monday
3. 100

Use Improve question to update your question.

Yes.

No, that'll never happen in Rubular (or whatever).

Are you sure you don't need the SPACE?
Is that HYPHEN supposed to be a SPACE?

C#
System.Console.WriteLine ( System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace ( "Sunday Monday100" , "(^.*)-?(Monday)(.*)$" , "$1$3" ) ) ;

Hi, i need the result using regex command only. Can not use any fucntion/parameters.
if I use this:
(^.*)-?Monday(.*)

it gives me results as 2 value Sunday and 100

But I need value as Sunday100..

Thanks. Help!

What language? Regex is not a "command" and of course you'll need parameters.
You don't nee Regex for such as requirement, you can use String.Replace method[^]. See:
C#
string s = "Sunday Monday100";
Console.WriteLine(s.Replace("Monday", "")); //prints "Sunday 100"

As i mentioned, you don't need regex.

Your problem is that this is not the purpose of 'Rubular.com'
'Rubular.com' is an helper tool to help you build a RegEx, nothing else.
What you with the matching groups is your business in your code, but we can't help you on the code you don't show.

[Update]
Just a few interesting links to help building and debugging RegEx.
Here is a link to RegEx documentation:
perlre - perldoc.perl.org[^]
Here is links to tools to help build RegEx and debug them:
.NET Regex Tester - Regex Storm[^]
Expresso Regular Expression Tool[^]
RegExr: Learn, Build, & Test RegEx[^]
This one show you the RegEx as a nice graph which is really helpful to understand what is doing a RegEx:
Debuggex: Online visual regex tester. JavaScript, Python, and PCRE.[^]

SHOW YOUR ACTUAL CODE AND EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE.
Member 13704136 5-Mar-18 15:53pm    
I dont have any code as I mentioned earlier. It is a tool where I can put regex to manipulate the string values. When I use (^.*)-?Monday(.*)

It gives me results Match Group as:
1) Sunday
2) 100

But I need Match Group as:
1) Sunday100

The problem is that it is not how that tool works!
