How to find multiple occurrences with regex groups?

Question

Why does the following code result in:

there was 1 matches for 'the'

and not:

there was 3 matches for 'the'

using System; using System.Text.RegularExpressions;  namespace TestRegex82723223 {     class Program     {         static void Main(string[] args)         {             string text = "C# is the best language there is in the world.";             string search = "the";             Match match = Regex.Match(text, search);             Console.WriteLine("there was {0} matches for '{1}'", match.Groups.Count, match.Value);             Console.ReadLine();         }     } } 

Answer 1

string text = "C# is the best language there is in the world."; string search = "the"; MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(text, search); Console.WriteLine("there was {0} matches for '{1}'", matches.Count, search); Console.ReadLine();
