Regex to get filename other than .c and .h file

sampath meka

Hello All,

My question is i have following file names which should be processed based on the extension type using regular expression only.

myname.csi
myname.ctr
myname.hsi
myname.htr
myname.c
myname.h

For the above strings if we apply regular expression the output should be
myname.csi
myname.ctr
myname.hsi
myname.htr

I want only file name other than extension .c and .h only

Thanks & Regards,
Sampath

Try this:

Imports System
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions

Module Program

Sub Main()

Dim names As String() = {"myname.c", "myname.csi","myname.ctr","myname.hsi","myname.h","myname.htr"}
Dim regExp As String = "^(?!.*\.[ch]$).*$"

For Each name As String in names

Dim m As Match = Regex.Match(name, regExp)
If m.Success Then Console.WriteLine(m.Value)

Next

Console.ReadKey()

End Sub

End Module

Why not simply use this:

find -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"

You don't need regex for this.

If you absolutely want to use regex simply use

find -regex ".*\.\(c\|h\)"
