.NET regular expressions classic: to compile or not to compile?

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/01/01

Every time I use regular expressions (or post about them), it makes me think about the classic RegEx post by Jeff Atwood: to compile or not to compile.

BTW: Happy 2013!

which kind of IsHex() function do you like most, and why?

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/07/10

Though the sample question is in C#, it applies to almost any language and framework: for relatively simple checks like IsHex(), you can go the RegEx way, or the compound if-statement way.

Which kind of function do you like most?

I’m not only interested in the percentages, so let me know in the comments why.

PS: if you want to use RegEx in .NET, you can compile them to IL, but be very cautious for the compilation overhead.
