Every time when I need to deal with regexp, Perl is the only choice. Not just C#, Java also had regexp support added, but Perl's is the best to this point. When you compare two languages, not only that usually regexp is just a small part of the language, but also it is not only about the language itself, most of the time, IDE is important for decision making, when you are looking at applications that exceeds a certain size. I have to give Microsoft credit for its IDE's. Without looking at the application you want to create, it is simply meaningless to say which language is better. It is all about the nature of the application, and which language supports its nature better. I may pick Perl for a project, but pick C# fr a different one. There is no best language, but better ones. At one point, some people were saying that Java woul dprevail, that didn't happen; Before java, Ada was the only candidator for future, that didn't happen either.
