Group.Captures Property

Gets a collection of all the captures matched by the capturing group, in innermost-leftmost-first order (or innermost-rightmost-first order if the regular expression is modified with the RightToLeft option). The collection may have zero or more items.
public:
property System::Text::RegularExpressions::CaptureCollection ^ Captures { System::Text::RegularExpressions::CaptureCollection ^ get(); };public System.Text.RegularExpressions.CaptureCollection Captures { get; }member this.Captures : System.Text.RegularExpressions.CaptureCollectionPublic ReadOnly Property Captures As CaptureCollectionProperty Value
The collection of substrings matched by the group.
Remarks
If a quantifier is not applied to a capturing group, the collection returned by the Captures property contains a single Capture object that provides information about the same substring as the Group object.
The real utility of the Captures property occurs when a quantifier is applied to a capturing group so that the group captures multiple substrings in a single regular expression. In this case, the Group object contains information about the last captured substring, whereas the Captures property contains information about all the substrings captured by the group.
