Cartoon swearing ahoy.
var input = "%KEY1, value1 %KEY2,value2 %KEY3, %NOTE,This is a note %NAME,
Fred Knuckle";
var regex = @"\s*%(?<KEY>[^,]+),\s*(?<VALUE>[^%]*)";
var matches = Regex.Matches(input, regex);
foreach(Match match in matches)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", match.Groups["KEY"].Value,
match.Groups["VALUE"].Value);
}
Prints:
KEY1: value1
KEY2: value2
KEY3:
NOTE: This is a note
NAME: Fred Knuckle
