Why do my regex matches have 2 instances of one group?
I have this regex to pull two pieces of information from each method overload declaration in a class. The methods all look like this:
Most overloads occur twice, once with a
String sLog logger, and once with a LogHelper logHelper logger, and there are a total of about 32 overloads, each one having a different type for the responseCache parameter, like the example above has DocumentModelFailureCount.
I want to extract a list with two entries for each responseCache type, one for each type of logger. I basically want a list that looks like this:
I've "engineered" this regex on regex101.com, and it seems to work nicely, except for one curiosity:"
Each match shows the whole declaration header, and both named groups, but it also shows the logType group as a numbered group:
Match 1: public bool RetrieveServiceCache(service_cache service_Cache, ref NIISResponse responseCache, ref String sLog)
- Group 1: sLog
- Group respType: NIISResponse
- Group logType: sLog
Why does only one named group also appear as a numbered group?1 Reply
Shit, sorry, I had so much uphill trying to get it right, but I'll try again.
Oh, thanks! I thought the alternation needed its own parens. I'll try stick to <> for names as well.
