String Tokenizer? Parse strings like %Var1% - %Var2%-%Var3%?

[Lucas Tam]

Hello,

Does anyone know of a VB.NET class that can parse a string based on an
input mask? I would like to parse a string like:

%Filename% - %Date%-%Number%

Of course the format of the string could change like:

FillerText%Filename% - %Date%-%Number%.zip

In which case, FillerText and .zip would be ignored and only the variables
would be extracted?

I was hoping someone would have some code or know of a component that does
this sort of thing... it seems like something very common.

Would Regular Expressions work too?

Thanks.

Nevermind... Figured it out. I'm using Regular Expression Name Groups.
Works great : )
