how to regex that kind of string

Question

I want regex that string, but I really dont know how. I have figured out how I can get the numbers, but not the other strings

string text = "1cb07348-34a4-4741-b50f-c41e584370f7 Youtuber https://youtube.com/lol love youtube";

string regexstring = "[a-z0-9]+-[a-z0-9]+-[a-z0-9]+-[a-z0-9]+-[a-z0-9]*(?<id>)"

code

Match m = Regex.Match(text, regexstring);
if(m.Success)
   Console.WriteLine(m.Groups[0]);

Output

1cb07348-34a4-4741-b50f-c41e584370f7

now I want that the output is that

1cb07348-34a4-4741-b50f-c41e584370f7
Youtuber
https://youtube.com/lol
love youtube

what I finished is the first line of the output but I dont know how to regex the other strings

can you clarify, what exactly you want? Make every word separated by space separated by newline? — nonForgivingJesus, Aug 03 '19 at 18:05

([\w]+-){5} is cleaner to replace what you already did.

\w means [a-zA-Z0-9_].

Then, if your string always has a website preceded and followed by a number of words separated by spaces, you can do this:

string regexstring = "((\w*-){4})(\w*) (.+?)[A-Za-z]?(https://[^ ]+?) (.+)";

Ouput

Match m = Regex.Match(text, regexstring);
if(m.Success)
    Console.WriteLine(m.Groups[1] + "" + m.Groups[2] + "" + m.Groups[3] + "\n" + m.Groups[4] + "\n" + m.Groups[5] + "\n" + m.Groups[6]);

hey the match in this example is not success – Aug 03 '19 at 18:26
could you test it out – Aug 03 '19 at 18:35
@newcoma Whoops sorry. Try that. – user11809641 Aug 03 '19 at 18:36
Oh I thought that was a typo because it wasn't in your original output. Where do you want the `V`? – user11809641 Aug 03 '19 at 18:47
I really dont know why they add there a char in `Vhttps://` so I want only `https://` without the char so just remove – Aug 03 '19 at 18:53
sometimes the char is there but sometimes not do I need to make it like this `?[A-z]` – Aug 03 '19 at 19:03
Yeah but put the question mark after the [A-z] and leave it out of the parentheses so it isn't included in the group. I updated answer for good measure. – user11809641 Aug 03 '19 at 19:06
Updated. Try again. – user11809641 Aug 03 '19 at 19:34
great I really thanxs you for helping me out have a nice weekend – Aug 03 '19 at 19:39
My pleasure. You too. – user11809641 Aug 03 '19 at 19:39

I'm guessing that, if our inputs would look like the same, this expression might be somewhat close to what you might have in mind, not sure though:

^(\b[0-9a-f]{8}\b-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-\b[0-9a-f]{12}\b)\s+(.*?)\s+[A-Z](https?:\/\/\S+)\s+(.*)$

The expression is explained on the top right panel of regex101.com, if you wish to explore/simplify/modify it, and in this link, you can watch how it would match against some sample inputs, if you like.
