Regex expression for replacing particular symbols in text- ®and ™

Hi,

 

I'm wanting to create a regular expression which will take a string, and if that string includes symbols ® and ™ I want to then wrap those symbols with a <Sup> tag.

 

e.g. "hello® this is a test™" 

outcome = hello <sup>®</sup> this is a test <sup>™</sup>

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks

ASP.NET Core

    Hi Aaron-92 ,
    Thanks for posting your issue here.

    Here's how you can implement it within an ASP.NET Core controller action:

    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
    using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
    namespace YourNamespace.Controllers
    {
    public class YourController : Controller
    {
    public IActionResult YourAction()
    {
    string input = "hello® this is a test™";
    string pattern = "(®|™)";
    string replacement = "<sup>$1</sup>";

    string result = Regex.Replace(input, pattern, replacement);

    ViewBag.Result = result; // Store the result in ViewBag or pass it to your view model

    return View(); // Return the view where you want to display the result
    }
    }
    }
    Note :
    - Make sure to replace Your Namespace, Your Controller, and Your Action with your actual application's namespaces, controller name, and action name.

    Best Regards,
