Normalize AOB string
1. DIGIT here can be wildcard(?) or hexidecimal;
2. aob is separated by spaces into parts;
3. any non-hexadecimal DIGIT chars in part is turn to wildcard DIGIT(?);
4. if count of chars in part is odd, last digit is prefix with '0' if hexadecimal, or '?' if not;
5. then normalize aob is consecutive 2 DIGIT (excluding space) separated by single space.

--Lua :
Code:

function aobNorm(aob)
  return aob:gsub("[^%x%s]","?"):gsub("%S%S?",function(hx)
    if hx:len()==1 then return hx:match"%x" and '0'..hx or '??'end
  end):gsub("%s+",""):gsub(".."," %1"):sub(2):upper()
end

print(aobNorm" ? 11 2? ?3   44556 __ 8899 a??b cc??ee? ? ")
-- ?? 11 2? ?3 44 55 06 ?? 88 99 A? ?B CC ?? EE ?? ??


The post is originally for me to ask how C# to do regular expression substitution effectively (it seems complicated, MatchEvaluator etc ~_~), but any language is welcome, and not necessary by regex.

Thank you~

Lua and a language like C# handle pattern matching much differently. Lua does its own thing with no real standardization being met while C# attempts to conform to more common standards (and can be directed to confirm to specifics such as ECMA).

For the first part, as an example, you could do the gsub in C# like this:

Code:

// Default input string..
var s = " ? 11 2? ?3   44556 __ 8899 a??b cc??ee? ? ";

// Do the replace, which should make the __'s become ??'s..
var result = Regex.Replace(s, @"([^a-fA-F0-9\s])", "?");

Sorry for late reply and thank you for the response.

To make the code more Lua-alike, I later found Extension Method is one way, may be trivial, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us//library/bb383977.aspx
