Regex pattern to valid file name

Question

I have a list of filenames which will have name like this :

ADB_FULL_REQ_XXXXXXXXXXXX_151004_01.dat 

Where :

ADB_FULL_REQ_ is constant

XXXXXXXXXXXX is the computer's Mac Address

151004 represents the date in yyMMdd format

01 is 2 digits and maximum is 99

I will have to perform a search in the diretory which contains those files and check if any of them is invalid/valid.

I've tried to use RegEX with this pattern but Match.Success always return false :

Match match = Regex.Match(filename, @"^ADB_FULL_REQ_XXXXXXXXXXXX_(d\{6})_(d\{2}).dat")

Please show me what'm I doing wrong here? Thanks!

Answer 1

The mistake is not big:

^ADB_FULL_REQ_[a-fA-F0-9]{12}_(\d{6})_(\d{2}).dat

you used d\ instead of \d. Change it and this will work fine (I've added checking for MAC address).
