RegEx to replace trailing string in specific format

Question

How can I replace these trailing "N megapixels" strings with "" using Regular Expression (RegEx.Replace)?

Examples:

If we enter: "Powershot Yellow 12.1 Megapixels", the result would be: "Powershot Yellow"

if we enter: "Powershot Black II 10 Megapixels", the result would be: "Powershot Black II"

How about something simple like...

var newStr = Regex.Replace(input, @"\s+[\d\.]+\s*Megapixels", "", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

you have the input and pattern reversed. +1 for a good regex, though. – agent-j Jul 05 '11 at 18:21

Try this:

var newString = Regex.Replace(candidate, @"\d+\.?\d+ Megapixels", "");
