A regular expression. 3. A format string specifying how the result should look. It can contain $6, $1, $2, and so on. $0 is the entire match, $1 and up correspond to the respective match groups in the regular expression.

Sic Ovton To add to the valuable content, | would like to create this reminder on why sometimes RegEx within VBA is not ideal. Not all expressions are supported, but instead may throw an Error 5017 and may leave the author guessing (which | am a victim of myself). Whilst we can find some sources on what is supported, it would be helpfull to know which metacharacters etc, are not supported. A more in-depth explaination can be found here. Mentioned in this source: "Although "VBScript’s regular expression ... version 6.5 implements quite a few essential regex features that were missing in previous versions of VBScript. JavaScript and VBScript implement Peri-style regular expressions. However, they lack quite a number of advanced features available in Perl and other modern regular expression flavors:" So, not supported are: + Start of String ancor \a, alternatively use the » caret to match postion before ‘st char in string + End of String ancor \z, alternatively use the $ dollar sign to match postion afer last char in string + Positive LookBehind, e.g.: (2<=2)b (whilst postive LookAhead is supported) * Negative LookBehind, e.g.: (? Regexp.Global = True and Regexp.Tgnorecase = True if available. + Regular Expression Comments. Add these with regular * comments in script | already hit a wall more than once using regular expressions within VBA.

The Din foo As New VBScript_Regéxp_55.RegExp line caused User Defined Type Not Defined errors, but I found a solution that worked for me. Update RE comments w/ @chrisneilsen : oqnp Iwas under the impression that enabling a reference library was tied to the local computers settings, but it is in fact, tied directly to the workbook. So, you can enable a reference library, share a macro enabled workbook and the end user wouldn't have to enable the library as well. Caveat: The advantage to Late Binding is that the developer does not have to worry about the wrong version of an object library being installed on the user's computer. This likely would not be an issue w/ the vascript_Regexp_55.RegExp library, but I'm not sold that the "performance" benifit is worth it for me al this time, as we are talking imperceptible milliseconds in my code. | felt this deserved an update to help others understand. If you enable the reference library, you can use "early bind", but if you don't, as far as | can tell, the code will work fine, but you need to “late bind” and loose on some performance/debugging features.
