I have a specific pattern I would like to replace using RegEx.Replace(). In
a nutshell, I would like to replace:

[6 of ANY character or whitespace]*[any # of ANY character or whitespace]

(in other words any string that has a '*' in the 7th character position in
the string)

I want to add the "<COMMENT>" string before the '*" and the </COMMENT> at
the end of the string. So, I would like to replace the entire string with:

[6 of ANY character or whitespace]<COMMENT>*[any # of ANY character or
whitespace]</COMMENT>

Would appreciate some help on this one. Thanks!

Is this what you're looking for, (in C#):

Regex rex =3D new Regex(@"(.{6})(\*.*)", RegexOptions.Singleline);
string result =3D rex.Replace(sourceString, =
"$1<COMMENT>$2</COMMENT>");
