C# regex replace in paths

I'm trying to use regex_replace in c#

This are my strings

my\old\path\Win32\my.dll
my\old\path\Win64\mydll2.dll

I'm trying to replace them with 

my\new\path\Win32Release\my.dll
my\new\path\Win64Release\mydll2.dll

This is how I do it and doesn't work in c# but works in notepad++

Regex.Replace(test, @"\bmy\\old\\(.*)\\[a-z]+([0-9]{2})\\((.*)+\.[a-z]{3})\b", @"my\\new\\path\\Win\2Release\\\3")

replace:

with:

\\Win($1)Release\\

Your pattern doesn't work because you have forgotten to make it case-insensitive. You can add (?i) at the begining of the pattern or use RegexOptions.IgnoreCase
