Eval Function = Evaluates an expression and returns the result.

Execute Method = Executes a regular expression search against a specified
string.

From VBScript help:

In VBScript, x = y can be interpreted two ways. The first is as an
assignment statement, where the value of y is assigned to x. The second
interpretation is as an expression that tests if x and y have the same
value. If they do, the result is True; if they are not, the result is False.
The Eval method always uses the second interpretation, whereas the Execute
statement always uses the first.
