Is there any way to tell how many replacements a Regex.Replace(...) call makes?

Answer 1

You could use the Regex.Replace Method (String, String, MatchEvaluator) overload and establish a count with your custom MatchEvaluator.

You can always do this like so:

int count = 0;
string newStr = Regex.Replace(origStr, regexStr, m => { count++; return "replacement"; });
