Does anyone know how to write a Regex.Split in order to convert
{video="my/video/file.flv,my/location.jpg"}
into
- my/video/file.flv
- my/location.jpg

Like this:
new Regex(@"[{="",}]").Split(@"{video=""my/video/file.flv,my/location.jpg}").Where(s => s.Length > 0)
EDIT: In VB:
Dim regex As New Regex("[{="",}]")
Dim myStr = "{video=""my/video/file.flv,my/location.jpg}"
Dim results = regex.Split(myStr).Where(Function(s) s.Length > 0)

thanks, but how would that work with a dynamic flv and a dynamic jpg?

also, I tried the Telerik Converter but got a syntax error. Any chance you have some VB knowledge?

What do you mean by a dynamic flv and a dynamic jpg? You can put any string you want into the
Split call.Chase Florell
it's going in a content management system. So basically they will put in {video="new/other/video.flv,a/different/image.jpg"}. What I want to do is replace the entire string with a JWPlayer oject that will play the video they tell it to.

@SLaks: I think you're missing the closing quote in the input string.

Have you considered using the Split function?
string x = "{video=\"my/video/file.flv,my/location.jpg\"}";
string xx = x.Split(',');

It needs to be a regex match because the "my/video/file.flv" and the "my/location.jpg" will always be changing.
This work around seems to have done the trick for me. Thoughts?
Dim str As String = "this is exciting {video=""my/exciting/video.flv,my/refreshing/image.jpg""} this is refreshing"
Dim regFind As String = "(?'text'\{video=""(.*)\""})"
Dim matcher As Match = Regex.Match(str, regFind)
Dim Matched As String() = (matcher.Groups("text").Value).Split(",")
Dim video As String = Matched(0).Replace("{video=""", "")
Dim jpg As String = Matched(1).Replace("""}", "")
Response.Write(video)
Response.Write("<br />")
Response.Write(jpg)
IndexOf('\"')andLastIndexOf('\"')and thenSplit(',')instead? I can quarantee this would be both easier to maintain and faster.
