i'm trying take string of html , match instance of [image, h, w] h , w integers can 1200. this first foray learning regular expressions. here have far: regex r = new regex(@"\image, (\d+?), (\d+?)\]"); match match = r.match(controltext); but in regex tester not selecting final bracket, , in code not matching string should. so output want 'image, h, w', , there want parse h & w , store them in variable. i'm junior developer in second week @ first job , think i'm spending way time trying figure out. appreciated. tuple<int, int>[] imagesizes = (from match match in new regex(@"\[image, (\d+), (\d+)\]").matches(controltext) select new tuple<int, int>( int.parse(match.groups[1].value), int.parse(match.groups[2].value))).toarray(); example: string controltext = "[image, 1200, 100]abacaldjfal; jk[image, 289, 400]"; imagesizes [1200, 100], [289, 400] . edit: since
