Hi there,
I'm seeking opinions on the use of regular expression searching. Is there
general consensus on whether it's now a best practice to rely on this rather
than rolling your own (string) pattern search functions. Where performance
is an issue you can alway write your own specialized routine of course.
However, for the occasional pattern search where performance isn't an issue,
would most seasoned .NET developers rely on "Regex" and cousins. Are there
any disadvantages I should be aware of other than possible efficiency issues
(compared to a specialized routine). Thanks in advance.
