C# RegEx match email address line

I cannot seem to figure this out this out for the life of me.

I am simply trying to match this string with double quotes "emailaddress":"[email protected]"

I've tried several attempts at the regex and this is the closest.

Regex test = new Regex("@\"emailAddress\":\"[email protected]\"");

What is wrong with my syntax?

Use Regex.Escape() to do the escaping for use in the regular expression for you. Then you only have to escape the double quotes the usual way:

    var term = @"""emailaddress"":""[email protected]""";

    Regex test = new Regex(Regex.Escape(term), RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

Use the RegexOptions.IgnoreCase flag in the Constructor to specify that case should be ignored.

Regex is case sensitive by default. You need to change the "A" in "emailAddress" to a lower case "a":

\"emailaddress\":\"[email protected]\"
