Question : Regex.Replace only match entire word instead of part of a word

Hi,

I have a problem with the following code :
    Function StripHighlightHTML(ByVal InputTxt As String) As String

        Dim pattern As String = "<(.|\n)*?>"
        Dim clearhtml, Search_Str As String

        Search_Str = Request.QueryString("Search")
        clearhtml = Regex.Replace(InputTxt, pattern, String.Empty)

        Return Regex.Replace(clearhtml, "\b(" & Search_Str & ")\b", ">" & "$1" & "", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)


    End Function

The codes replace html to plain text and then scans it for search tekst to get highlighted.
The codes worksp perfectly BUT it only highlights if it match the entire word instead of a word part.

Something i have to add here :  "\b(" i think. Anyone has an idea ?

Answer : Regex.Replace only match entire word instead of part of a word

Hi,

\b means word boundary, so "\b(" & Search_Str & ")\b" means match whole words only. Remove both \b and it should match part of the word.
