Thank you for your help. The one thing I was missing from my code was the MatchCollection. Take care.

Here is what i have coded for that thing Screen Shot private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string str = textBox1.Text.Trim(); Regex re = new Regex("[A-Z]*[a-z]*"); MatchCollection mc = re.Matches(str); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); foreach (Match m in mc) { sb = sb.Append(" " + m.ToString()); } MessageBox.Show("Final String is =" +sb.ToString() ); } Happy Coding :)

I want to count words in any phrase. There is no delimiter so I don't know how to indicate there are many words in a string like " TheFoxRanOverTheHill" there are 6 words in this string. The string contains no spaces.
