  Regular Expression - Regex(".*lblCorrect")

  Nov 28, 2012 08:27 PM|LINK

  I am looking for the regular expression to show me matches of *lblCorrect only e.g.

  aaalblCorrect = match

  lblCorrect = match

  222lblCorrect = match

  lblCorrectSSS = no match

  I am using new Regex(".*lblCorrect") but it comes back as 'lblCorrectSSS' as match which I dont want

  Any help will be greatly appreciated

  Gerrylowry is correct use boundries.
  However drop the first \b in the line he suggested so the expression will fit your needs:

  lblCorrect\b

  Link to tester:

  @ jprochazka

  yes, you are correct ... i misread the O.P. and erroneously thought that only "lblCorrect" was acceptable.

  the tester link that you gave confirms this.
