Hi!

Here I say minimum 1 o and maximum three o but here I have more then three o
and this expression give true but
it should give false according to me ?

bool status = Regex.IsMatch("foooooood", "o{1,3}");

//Tony

Because your criteria has multiple matches:

f[ooo][ooo][o]d

But according to me means "o{1,3}" that I must have at least 1 o and maximum
of three o.
I meam what is the purpose of using a max of 3 here then ?

Hi Tony.
You have to specify that the previous/next letter can't be an "o".

I am not an expert on regex but this should work

[^o]o{1,3}[^o]

I don't want a solution I want to know why this regular expression does not
work as I expect.
But according to me means "o{1,3}" that I must have at least 1 o and maximum
of three o.
I meam what is the purpose of using a max of 3 here then ?
