I am using RegEx in framwork .Net ver 2.0.

 I need to replace separator :  with -  everywhere in the string except in time value.

The source string:

07022V3EX000020,FW_CLASS:SUBDOCFW_OBJECT_ID:07022V3EX000020TP2V3_PROC_SLA_START:6TP2V3_WI_APPLIC_NO:DP004TP2V3_WI_CONTEXT:CON2TP2V3_WI_DATE_CREATED:2007-01-22TP2V3_WI_DATE_TIME:2008-05-15 16:45:12TP2V3_WI_DOC_TYPE:HelloTP2V3_WI_PRIORITY:6TP2V3_WI_SCRIPT_ERROR:Err  CALC_STEP_SLA Object requiredTP2V3_WI_WORK_TYPE:SUBDOCTP2V3_WI_WORKSTEP:PROCESS DOCUMENTS,00000000000004DB

the result string should be:

07022V3EX000020,FW_CLASS-SUBDOCFW_OBJECT_ID-07022V3EX000020TP2V3_PROC_SLA_START-6TP2V3_WI_APPLIC_NO-DP004TP2V3_WI_CONTEXT-CON2TP2V3_WI_DATE_CREATED-2007-01-22TP2V3_WI_DATE_TIME-2008-05-15 16:45:12TP2V3_WI_DOC_TYPE-HelloTP2V3_WI_PRIORITY-6TP2V3_WI_SCRIPT_ERROR-Err  CALC_STEP_SLA Object requiredTP2V3_WI_WORK_TYPE-SUBDOCTP2V3_WI_WORKSTEP-PROCESS DOCUMENTS,00000000000004DB
 

  I wrote exp :[^(?<time>(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}))]

 but it does not work. Please advise me any solution. Thanks.

 

 

Raw Match Pattern:
(?<!\d\d):

Raw Replace Pattern:
-

Based on your source example.
