Regexp Matching...

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi!
On Unix regular expressions work with brackets.
So, when I have a regexp "X([0-9]*)V([0-9]*)Z"
the string "X15V27Z" gives me two matches, one for
each number.
Is there any way to get this in VBScript regular
expressions too?

Lots of Greetings!

That should work, but it's hard to say without seeing the code that's
calling it, or knowing what results you are getting.

Here's the documentation:

Found it now. It's a bit hidden but there's a SubMatches property in the
Match object. That contains the strings of the sub matches.

Lots of Greetings and thanks!
