I have case. I want to select multiple passenger names from the input. if input contains only single passenger name then avoid that input string.

I have create regular expression in which It's work for multiple names from the input but it's not work, when I want to avoid single passenger name in the input.

My aim is to select only those case who contain multiple passenger names not the single passenger name.

for example: This is the input string where in one string i have single pax and in other i have more than one pax what i want is to create a regex which match with more than one pax.

C#

string ymt4 = @"RP/NYC1S21DD/NYC1S21DD            WS/SU   6MAY13/0509Z   Y39ZRG                
NYC1S21DD/80948W/6MAY13                                                        
  1.CORTES RIVERA/MARIA(ADT)  ";// only one pax
 
string ymt5 = @"RT29PVZU
--- TST RLR MSC ---                                                            
RP/NYC1S21DD/NYC1S21DD            WS/SU   6MAY13/0452Z   29PVZU                
NYC1S21DD/9999WS/6MAY13                                                        
  1.ALVARADO/RITA(ADT)   2.CABELLO/LUIS CARLOS(ADT)                            
  3.CABELLO/CINDY(ADT)   4.GUTIERREZ/MARTHA HILDA(ADT) ";//more than one pax

Regex i used for it is \d\.[a-zA-Z]\S(.+)

The main problem with this regex is that is match single as well as multiple pax where as i only want to match single pax. That's why i want you help guys

No, I'm not going to a random website and looking to see what the heck you are talking about.

Better, but you still need to show us what you expect to match - remember that we have no idea what problem you are trying to solve, and we can't see your screen or access your HDD.

To us, that is just a pile of text, with nothing that says "this is a name" or "this is two names" There are a lot of bits in both samples that could be a name.

try this regex @"[0-9]*\.[A-Za-z]*"
example

string ymt4 = @"RP/NYC1S21DD/NYC1S21DD            WS/SU   6MAY13/0509Z   Y39ZRG                
NYC1S21DD/80948W/6MAY13                                                        
  1.CORTES RIVERA/MARIA(ADT)  ";// only one pax
 
string ymt5 = @"RT29PVZU
--- TST RLR MSC ---                                                            
RP/NYC1S21DD/NYC1S21DD            WS/SU   6MAY13/0452Z   29PVZU                
NYC1S21DD/9999WS/6MAY13                                                        
  1.ALVARADO/RITA(ADT)   2.CABELLO/LUIS CARLOS(ADT)                            
  3.CABELLO/CINDY(ADT)   4.GUTIERREZ/MARTHA HILDA(ADT) ";//more than one pax
MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(ymt4 , @"[0-9]*\.[A-Za-z]*");
if(matches.Count>1)
     MessageBox.Show(matches.Count.ToString());
