' Syntax - s = REGEXPR$(sMask, sMain, nStart, nVarPos, nVarLen)
' Written by Abraxas

DIM sMask as string value "LO"
DIM sMain as string value "HELLO WORLD"
DIM nStart as DWORD Value 0
DIM nVarPos as dword value 0
DIM nVarLen as DWOrD value 0
DIM s as string
DIM sMsg as string

s = REGEXPR$(sMask, sMain, nStart, nVarPos, nVarLen)

sMsg += "String Mask = " & sMask & $CRLF
sMsg += "String = " & sMain & $CRLF
sMsg += "String Start Position = " & nStart & $CRLF
sMsg += "Match Start Position = " & nVarPos & $CRLF
sMsg += "String Length = " & nVarlen & $CRLF
sMsg += "String Returned = " & s & $CRLF

MsgBox 0, sMsg

Abraxas,

we had some licence problems with Power Basic Inc. (the company producing the compiler we use to develop thinBasic) regarding using regular expression parser functions present in the compiler. For this reason we removed REGEXPR$ function. Not sure if we will be able to use it but we are searching for a free alternative.

Thanks in any way.
