Help write a regular expression to search for files and folders,
searches for a given mask. In the mask, you can use "*"
(any characters in any number), and the "?" (one symbol).

Here shows you how to use regex in C#.
You could always just loop the directory that you're looking in and check the file names instead of making a regex. (You'll need to use System.IO)
Perhaps something like this?
string [] fileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(targetDirectory);
Regex regex = new Regex("target file name");
Match match = regex.Match(string.Join(" ", fileEntries););
if (match.Success)
{
Console.WriteLine(match.Value);
}

I want to create a regular expression to check the following string pattern, I tried following these tutorials but it's still confusing. Any help is appreciated.
Type: In Folder
(T or t)ype(spaces or no space):(spaces or no space)(i or I)n(spaces or multiple space)(f or F)older
So following your desired pattern at the end of your question:
(t|T)ype\s*:\s*(i|I)n\s*(f|F)older
The above pattern should match your string. Mind you, \s* is zero to unlimited spaces, which means it would match on the string you provided even if there were no spaces present; if there will always be at least one space present, you can replace them with \s+
Hope this helps!
(T|t)ype\s*:\s*(I|i)n\s*(f|F)older

I am trying to concat a variable to a regen in c# but it is not working
string color_id = "sdsdssd";
Match variations = Regex.Match (data, #""+color_id+"_[^\""]*\""\W\,\""sizes\""\:\s*\W.*?businessCatalogItemId"":\"")", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);#""+color_id+"_[^\""]*\""\W\,\""sizes\""\:\s*\W.*?businessCatalogItemId"":\"")";
But the above is not working
How to concat a variable at starting element to regex in c#
The # identifier only affects the immediately following literal string - you need to apply it to each string that needs it:
Match variations = Regex.Match (data,color_id +
#"_[^\""]*\""\W\,\""sizes\""\:\s*\W.*?businessCatalogItemId"":\"")",
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
Your code is not working because you appear to have put this into your code twice.
#""+color_id+"_[^\""]\""\W\,\""sizes\"":\s\W.*?businessCatalogItemId"":\"")"
Removing that should allow the concatenation to work.
Alternatively, you could use String.Format to make the pattern
string pattern = String.Format("#{0}_[^\""]*\""\W\,\""sizes\""\:\s*\W.*?businessCatalogItemId"":\"")", color_id)
Match variations = Regex.Match (data, pattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
In the String.Format, it will replace the {0} with color_id. You can use this to insert multiple variable into the string. Take a look at this MSDN page for more info

I would like to exclude a specific string when it is contained in an expression:
Example:
myurl.htm = exclude
myurl = include
I tried this one : ([a-z0-9]+)(?!.htm)
But looks like it doesn't work.
Try the following:
([a-z0-9]+)(?!^\.htm)
You had two errors in your expression:
You have to escape the dot . with a backslash because it means "matches any character (except newline)" unescaped.
You have to add a ^ to prevent cutting of the last character.
You can test your expression on this website: https://regex101.com/

I have a large text. I need find any word in the text then copy to variable the phrase that contains the word. How can I do this by C#? Maybe I can use some regular expression?
Use the regex expression [^.!?;]*(search)[^.?!;]*[.?!;], where "search" is your query.
string query = "professional";
var regex = new Regex(string.Format("[^.!?;]*({0})[^.?!;]*[.?!;]", query));
string text =

var results = regex.Matches(text);
for (int i = 0; i < results.Count; i++)
Console.WriteLine(results[i].Value.Trim());
This code uses the regex to find all sentences containing "professional", and outputs them, trimming any whitespace.

I have 3 strings from wich I want to extract the movie title, if posible in one RegularExpression
<title>Airplane! (1980)</title>
<title>"24" (2001)</title>
<title>"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." The Magical Place (2014)</title>
My best shot so far is this one:
<title>(")?(.*?)(")?.*?\((\d{4})\).*?</title>
Works fine for "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and "24" but not for "Airplane!".
What am I doing wrong?
Even though it might not be clear the regular expression are called within a C# program, and I'm using RegEx
RE for start-of-line => opening tag => optional " => read until " or (nnnn)
titles = System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode(titles);
foreach (Match match in Regex.Matches(titles,
#"^\s*<title>\s*\""*(.*?)(\""|\(\d{4}\))", RegexOptions.Multiline | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))
{
if (match.Success)
{
string name = match.Groups[1].Value;
}
}
