I used a regular expression in VB for the first time ever (I think) today!
The reason is that I cached some generated ASP and realised that when I needed to use it on different pages, the id lookup for certain elements would change. So, no problem (except for the fact that I’m coding in ASP):
<code>Dim regExpObj, file_content, newStr Set regExptObj = new RegExp With regExpObj .Pattern = "idTag[0-9]" 'Matches the id name that I'm using, 'regardless of what number the generated code makes it .Global = True 'Matches all occurrences, not just the first End With newStr = objRegExp.Replace (file_content, "idTag3") response.write newStr </code>
Easy.
