In computing, regular expressions, also referred to as regex or regexp, provide a concise and flexible means for identifying strings of text, such as particular characters, words, or patterns of characters. A regular expression is written in a formal language that can be interpreted by a regular expression processor, a program that either serves as a parser generator or examines text and identifies parts that match the provided specification.
I only ask because I don't know what languages you know, and I want to speak in your terms...
C# (pronounced "see Sharp") is a multi-paradigm programming language encompassing imperative, functional, generic, object-oriented, and component-oriented programming disciplines. C# is one of the programming languages designed for the Common Language Infrastructure.
Since you asked, so far I've been fortunate to avoid C# (not that I'm unfamiliar with it's merits) ...I am predictably well versed as anyone with C++. However I think it would be easier on everyone if you could explain your methodology without dipping into the grammar of some programming language.
A simple overview would be a helpful place to start, although you may as well tell us how you're employing regular expressions
