matcher question

[Cor]

I pretty new to the matcher and regex stuff.

I want to find 7 and 9 , if both exists in following string

C 7+5(-9)

will there be a tutorial for matcher and regex?

If all you want it to check whether both 7 and 9 appear then it would be easier to use IndexOf:

Dim S As String
S = "..."
If S.IndexOf("7") > -1 AND S.IndexOf("5") > -1 Then ...

will there be a tutorial for matcher and regex?

I believe so. Though it will not cover the basic of general regular expressions, as their are many online tutorials.
This is my favorite:

I believe indexof is only valid for the whole string not a part of a string

myList[0]="C 7+5(-9)"

only return index 0 if both the 7 and 9 exists in myList[0]

I will look at the link

Not sure that I understand what are you trying to match...

 

[Cor]

must return true if both 7 and 9 exists in myList[0]

myList[0]="C 7+5(-9)"

myList is an array of strings?

 

[Cor]

dim myList as list

mylist is a list

So something like:

Dim s As String
s = myList.Get(0)
If s.IndexOf...

ok, thanks it works now

I was a little confused with indexof, thought that it looks only for complete words
