Syntax prompts
I am working on a project that uses strings as parameters for RegEx expressions, is it possible to get Rider to prompt for a regex expression based on a hint or is it not possible?

Ah, are you seeking the feature to add RegEx type assistance for a string? Put the caret in the string then press
Alt+Enterfor Context Actions, enable the feature.For other usages you can refer to this documentation.
Ah thanks!!!! Knew it would be something simple!
This is why I love this IDE over VS!!!
I don't think that you understand what i am asking.
What i want is the same pprompt when I type Regex.Match(stringVariable, … The IDE shows the options for a regex expression.
What I am wanting to do is have the same functionality for a method parameter or similar. It is a small thing and I am not sure if what i am asking for is possible.
For example:
public static string DoSomethingWithARegex(string AValue, string Expression){ }So whenI write that method out the Regex expression hints are displayed.
There may be a keyboard shorcut that displays this hint I don't know (not good a RTFM)
Maybe you can try with AI Assistant. Try to generate some samples based on the RegEx declaration or generate RegEx from some text data.
