I am trying to write a regex to get a full name in c# something like /("full_name_ac": ")\w+, but not able to write.Please help me to write the regex that will always find the value under double quotes for full_name_ac
Your RegEx to extract a full_name_acvalue out of this string should look like
(?<="full_name_ac": ")[\w\ ]+(?=\")
Explaination:
(?<="full_name_ac": ") - starts with "full_name_ac": " but it's not a part of the value
[\w\ ]+ the name including space with at lease one character
(?=\") and the string has to end with a " which isn't a part of the value

I have a json looks below. I want to calculate the size of the json in c# that I got from frontend. I will store the json in cosmos db.
My json is:
{
"employeecode": "E1001",
"Employeename": "xyz",
"Address": [
{
"RowID": "1",
"Address1": "58-8",
"Address2": "rachel street",
"City": "Newyork",
"Pin": "100981"
}
],
"Exp": [],
"Education": [
{
"RowID": "1",
"Secondary": "87.8",
"School": "xyz",
"City": "abc"
},
{
"RowID": "2",
"Higher Secondary": "87.8",
"School": "xyz",
"City": "abc"
},
{
"RowID": "3",
"Btech": "8.8",
"college": "xyz",
"City": "abc"
}
]
}
How can I calculte the size of json in c#?
There are different ways to find the string size and it depends on the encoding of your string Unicode or UTF-8. The easiest way is using System.Text.Encoding
If it is encoded with UTF-8
var size_in_MB1 = Math.Round(((decimal)Encoding.UTF8.GetByteCount(json) / 1048576), 2);
And, if it is encoded with Unicode
var size_in_MB2 = Math.Round(((decimal)Encoding.Unicode.GetByteCount(json) / 1048576), 2);
I have the below json as a text, how can i assign this text into a string? Since this has got multiple inverted commas in it. Escasping each comma becomes a tedious job. I need to assign the text to string json=""; and pass a player pref string in unity. For a later purpose , so that i can later on write the string by using System.IO.File.WriteAllText(Application.persistentDataPath + "/stickers.json", json);

As answered here you can use # in front of a string to automatically escape characters that usually cause issues. However you need to double up on your quotes for obvious reasons.
For example:
string quote = #"This is an example quote where someone could say ""Hello, World!"" without having to escape using \."
Which will output (backslash included):
This is an example quote where someone could say "Hello, World!"
without having to escape using .
I've a requirement like dragable tree in my project.
I've successfully converted mssql resultset to json.
But the end user is again dragging and dropping and totally changed the tree structure.
Now I have the below json from the client.
[
{
"id": 1,
"title": "1. dragon-breath",
"items": [
{
"id": 10,
"title": "1. dragon-breath.1",
"items": [
{
"id": 100,
"title": "1. dragon-breath.1.2",
"items": [
{
"id": 1000,
"title": "1. dragon-breath.1.2.3",
"items": [],
"pos": 3
}
],
"pos": 2
},
{
"id": 101,
"title": "1. dragon-breath.1.2",
"items": [],
"pos": 2
}
],
"pos": 1
}
],
"pos": 1
},
{
"id": 102,
"title": "1. dragon-breath.1.2",
"items": [
{
"id": 1020,
"title": "1. dragon-breath.1.2.1",
"items": [],
"pos": 1
}
],
"pos": 2
},
{
"id": 1021,
"title": "1. dragon-breath.1.2.1",
"items": [],
"pos": 1
}
]
From the above json "pos" property is for MSSQL Hierarchyid value.
I am trying to regenerate the hierarchy id of each element, when this json posted back from the client.
I am requesting you people to help me. (spend 2 days no luck)
Following the link you posted to the other SO question, and then a link from a comment, I see you are using the MSSQL hierarchyid data type (hint: it might have helped if you been a bit clearer about that in your question ;)
From the online help I see there is a Parse function, which takes a string.
So you need to traverse your JSON tree structure, building strings for each element in the form /1/1/3/ for example, and pass those back to your database along with the associated node id.
I have two json string and also posted here. First json string convert from c# data table using newtonsoft dll. The second one is manual string. If i use the second string means chart displayed well. First one means chart not displayed. I just found the error "value" and "y" like a string in first json string. Kindly help me to change the first one to second one.

Just convert the string to number
$.each(data,function(key,val){
val.value=+val.value; // convert the string to number
val.y=+val.y;
});
console.log(data);

I have a long string and within that string I have the following text:
"formatter": "SomeInformationHere"
I need to find the above text within the long string and remove the double quote marks around SomeInformationHere so the result looks like the below, but the quotes around the word "formatter" must remain.
"formatter": SomeInformationHere
I tried the below, which finds the string, but I'm not sure how to replace just the quotation marks around the value SomeInformationHere:
string pattern = "\"formatter\": ([\"]).*([\"])";
Match match = Regex.Match(myString, pattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
//Replace text in "myString" here
myString = ?????
//Output match value:
Response.Write(match.Value);
Edit: Oh I forgot to mention that the above pattern could be in the "mystring" more than once and all will need the replacement doing on them.
Edit 2:
I've had a look at the regex tester site (thanks for the link) and pasted in my test string and regex pattern, it seems to work in that, but when I put the same pattern into dot net the replacement seems to work as if the "singleline" option has been selected. Below is the code I've used.
The string - note that this does NOT contain any carriage returns - it's one long string that has been built from an XML file. Formatted for readability.

}
}
As you can see near the bottom next to "test" and "tooltip" I have the "formatter:" part. the patten I'm currently using works when the above string is all on several lines (with CRs) in the tester, but when I put it on ONE line like it should be then the pattern doens't work
The .NET code / pattern I'm using is:
string pattern = "(\"formatter\": )\"(.*)\"( })";
var regex = new Regex(pattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
aJSON = regex.Replace(aJSON, "$1$2$3");
thanks again. but I still can't seem to get the pattern to work correctly in the tester.
Target string in the REGex tester site: (with no CRs)

I've now found the correct pattern that seems to work and find multiple matches in the string. Posting it here for completion.
string pattern = "(\"formatter\": )\"(.[^\"]*)\"";
Everybody else has pretty much nailed it with using capturing groups and substitutions, just wanted to provide a little more context:
The main two things that are used here are Named Capturing Groups and Substitutions
static void Main(string[] args) {
var input = new[] {
"\"formatter\": \"John\"",
"\"formatter\": \"Sue\"",
"\"formatter\": \"Greg\""
};
foreach (var s in input) {
System.Console.Write("Original: [{0}]{1}", s, Environment.NewLine);
System.Console.Write("Replaced: [{0}]{1}", ReFormat(s), Environment.NewLine);
System.Console.WriteLine();
}
System.Console.ReadKey();
}
private static String ReFormat(String str) {
//Use named capturing groups to make life easier
var pattern = "(?<label>\"formatter\"): ([\"])(?<tag>.*)([\"])";
//Create a substitution pattern for the Replace method
var replacePattern = "${label}: ${tag}";
return Regex.Replace(str, pattern, replacePattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
}
You can use the Regex.Replace method like this:
string pattern = "\"formatter\": \"(.*)\"";
myString = Regex.Replace(myString, pattern, "\"formatter\": $1");
Use this:
string longString = #"""formatter"": ""SomeInformationHere""";
string pattern = "(\"formatter\": )([\"])(.*)([\"])";
string result = Regex.Replace(longString, pattern, "$1$3");
This replaces all found matches with the second and the fourth sub group of the match. The complete match is the first sub group ($0) and all parts in parenthesis create a new sub group.
Most probably "the replacement seems to work as if the "singleline" option has been selected" beacause the initially used by you regex will match correctly up to the 14th symbol in
**"formatter": "SomeInformationHere"**
, but after that it will match every symbol nomatter what it is, including the next fist occurance of double quotes, and it will continue untill the first new line. That's how .* expression works because of it's greedness (Check greedy vs lazy regex).
So I suppose that you have only to modify
"\"formatter\": ([\"]).*([\"])"
to
"\"formatter\": ([\"]).*?([\"])"
var pattern = #"^(\s*""formatter""\s*:\s*)[""](.*)[""](\s)*$";
var regex = new Regex(pattern, RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.Multiline);
myString = regex.Replace(myString, "$1$2$3");
