Using Back References

Regex r = new RegEx("Cells\(([A-Za-z]*))");
MatchCollection mc = r.Matches("Cells(uxIdColumn)")
string result = mc[0].Groups[1].Value
// result now = "uxIdColumn"

Finding an Exact Match

//Note: MUST wrap the regular expression in parentheses (i.e., use groups)
regex.Matches(testString).Item(0).Groups(1).Value = testString ?
