Regular Expressions

What are some examples of some advanced regular expressions?

That's not really a VB.NET question. If you want to learn how to build your own regular expressions then there are plenty of places on the web that will show you how. The syntax is the same no matter the language used to build the application.

I haven't encountered any, but then I don't use them very much. I've never seen any .NET-specific reference either, although that doesn't mean there isn't one. I would think that you'd be able to use any reference to get going and then deal with any platform-specific details if and when they arose.

heres a regex tutorial + a regex reference site

Thread moved from "VB.Net" forum to "General Developer" forum

What would you call advanced? For instance x:Light highlights any XML based language without knowing one keyword using regex. The source is in the codebank, feel free to take a look at it.

I'm already pretty good with Regular Expressions, I just want to know some really long ones that I can use as examples to do advanced things.

.... And I have given you a fully functional application plus a link to the source.

Here's a classic: validating an email address against RFC 822.
