Hi, this code is working. But here we get output in richtextbox, instead of this I want the extracted data to be in a different textbox. How can I achieve this? Thanks in advance.

C#

string content = "?$255*$50*$50*?";
string pattern = @"(\d+)";
MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(content, pattern);
string spacer = "";
if (mc.Count > 0)
{
  Console.WriteLine("Printing matches...");
    for (int i = 0; i < mc.Count; i++)
    {
        spacer = "";
        richTextBox1.AppendText(spacer + "Match[" + i + "]: " + mc[i].Value);
        GroupCollection gc = mc[i].Groups;
    }
}
else
{

    richTextBox1.AppendText("Pattern Not Found");

}

Match[1]: 50
Match[2]: 50

Then don't do richTextBox1.AppendText

Put it into different text box instead.
I would suggest using a string builder:

C#

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
string spacer = "";
for (int i = 0; i < mc.Count; i++)
{
      sb.Append(string.Format("{0}Match[{1}]: {2}",spacer, i, mc[i].Value));
      spacer = " ";
}
myTextBox.Text = sb.ToString();

Note that I moved the init of spacer outside your loop and changed it inside, and deleted the redundant GroupCollection - since it can't be accessed outside the loop, it is irrelevant.
