System.Text namespaces

The System.Text and System.Text.RegularExpressions namespaces contain types for character encoding, string manipulation, and processing text using regular expressions.

This topic displays the types in the System.Text and System.Text.RegularExpressions namespaces that are included in the .NET for Windows Store apps. Note that the .NET for Windows Store apps does not include all the members of each type. For information about individual types, see the linked topics. The documentation for a type indicates which members are included in the .NET for Windows Store apps.

Capture	Represents the results from a single successful subexpression capture.
CaptureCollection	Represents the set of captures made by a single capturing group.
Group	Represents the results from a single capturing group.
GroupCollection	Returns the set of captured groups in a single match.
Match	Represents the results from a single regular expression match.
