RE: replace with regular expression - surya_7mar - 07-28-2008

The below example i am tryiong to convert all the <TODAY> with Current Date.

In the same way you can pass any regular expression.

Code:
str  = "Today is <TODAY>"

Dim oRe, oMatches,Match,str2

Set oRe = New RegExp

oRe.IgnoreCase = True

oRe.Global = true

oRe.Pattern = "<TODAY>"

Set oMatches = oRe.Execute(str)

For each Match in oMatches

    str = Replace(str, Match.Value,Date)          

Next

print str 'will print Today is 07/28/2008
