I have c# code in which I run a perl file using commandline and capture that output in a c# string. I want to extract a certain word from this string using regex. I tried several methods to capture that specific word but it didnt work.

For example: the below text was captured in a string in c#

CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.
Initializing.
jsdns jsdnjs wuee uwoqw duwhduwd 9-8 is = COM10
uuwe sodks asjnjx

In the above code I want to extract COM10. Similarly this value can also change to COM12 or COM8 or COM15. I will always have COM in the text but the succeeding number can change.

Can someone let me know how to go about with regex. I used RegexOptions.Multiline but am not sure how to go about it. Also if an explanation is included it would be helpful.

You can use the following regex.

Match m = Regex.Match(input, @"\b(?i:com\d+)");
if (m.Success)
    Console.WriteLine(m.Value); //=> "COM10"

Explanation:

\b       # the boundary between a word character (\w) and not a word character
(?i:     # group, but do not capture (case-insensitive)
  com    #   'com'
  \d+    #   digits (0-9) (1 or more times)
)        # end of grouping
