Regex. Help needed

I need a regular expression that will extract complete p开发者_运维百科ath to a file from a string that looks like:

c:\DevProjects\Web Projects\RD_deploy\obj\Release\Source\App_Code\BusinessLogic\WebMethodTypes\WebCompressionResult.cs(33): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'CompressionResult' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

or

c:\DevProjects\AssaultRifle.cs(157): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Gunpowder' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

---

Try:

^(.*)\([0-9]+\):.*$

This should do it.

---

^([^\(]+)

This will get the beginning of the string, up to the first (, into group 1; in your case, the whole path up to (33)....

edit: If you might have parentheses in your filenames, things get a bit more complicated.

^(.+)(\(\d+\)): will match everything up to a parenthesized number followed by a colon, like "(33):" or "(157):", into group 1.

Try this.

([a-zA-Z]:(?:\\\\\w+(?:\s+\w+)*)+\.\w+)
