using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
namespace RegExApplication {
   public class Program {
      private static void showMatch(string text, string expr) {
         Console.WriteLine("The Expression: " + expr);
         MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(text, expr);
         foreach (Match m in mc) {
            Console.WriteLine(m);
         }
      }
      public static void Main(string[] args) {
         string str = "The Shape of Water got an Oscar Award!";
         Console.WriteLine("Display first letter of each word!");
