hi,
i am reading .DAT file but i am facing problem of reading correct Data.
I need a regular expression to read exact data from that DAT file.
when i read the data then it is following format!


"\0\0\0×\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0OfficeTrainer.exe \0\0\0×\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\nuninst.exe"

i m not understanding what is \0 & . what will be correct regular expression i need to place to format above string.

presently i am using a regular expression that will removes only white spaces..(e.g.@"s\+")

kindly provide me a valid solution!

regards,
Balkrishna!

I m not understanding what is \0
It is to match the single '0'.

"\0\0\0×\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0OfficeTrainer.exe \0\0\0×\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\nuninst.exe"


\0*\x\0*\OfficeTrainer.exe\0*\x\0*nuinst.exe.

Hope it helps.

\0 must be the NULL character.
'\0' is (char)0, i.e. the NULL character.
The cross, the black left pointing triangle and the little upper L are Unicode characters.

how to remove thois from string resultant string!
C#
s = s.Replace(((char)x).ToString(), string.Empty);

where x is the unicode code point of the character. For NULL character it is zero, for the other three, you have to look them up yourself... May I suggest the Windows Accessories Character Map?
