translate Perl regex to .NET
I have a legacy application that uses Regular Expressions from Perl. The problem is that I need these Perl Regular Expressions to work in C# 3.
Background:
From what I can tell there are some major differences between Perl and C# Regular Expressions. There are too many to convert manually so I need a C# function to convert them to a DotNet Regex.
Something like this:
private string convertPerlRegex(string expression)
{
//alter expression to DotNet friendly one
}
Question:
Is there a set of rules for converting Regular Expressions from Perl to DotNet? If so, what is the best way to convert them?
Or
Is there a better way to go about this - perhaps an open source library?
