basic regex quesiton.

[Jeff]

(apologies if this gets posted twice, the first didn't go through after a
day)
....hoping someone can help someone still new to vb.net 2005 with something
new to him.

....been successfully using the regular expression validators from the
toolbox, but now I have need to do something strictly with code.

....need to determine if a stored string matches a stored regular expression.

....not sure what to search under for an example to give me a starting point.
I can figure out the actual expression syntax and the rest if someone can
get me started.

e.g., something along these lines

dim myregex as new regex
if mystoredstring = regex then
DoAllKindsOfStuff()
end if

Thanks

It did actually go through, it was just delayed greatly. Here is the
archive of your original thread (with solutions):
