How Can i use Regex.Replace with Non-English "ARABIC Strings

Alina John

Hey Folks!

I am having a problem using Regular Expression in Non-English (URDU) string. I want to use

"Regex.Replace" with Urdu Strings to remove Special Characters but when I pass Urdu String to "Regex.Replace" it is removing entire urdu as considering it "NON-ENGLISH/INTEGRAL" value.

string name = Regex.Replace("Urdu ???? Here", @"[^0-9a-zA-Z]+" ," ");

Any suggestion?

I found the answer All I have to use is \p{IsArabic} in my Regex Syntax it will allow Arabic words

string name = Regex.Replace("Urdu ???? Here", @"[^0-9a-zA-Z\p{IsArabic}]+" ," ");
