I get Run-time error 5018 ("Application-defined or object-defined
error") on the following line of code:

If (oRegEx.test(sInputString) = True) Then

when I try to test a string with a regular expression.

Any idea why and/or what this error means?

Here is the function:

Function TextFound(sInputString As String) As String
Dim oRegEx As Object
Dim mcMatchedStrColl As MatchCollection, mMatch As Match
Set oRegEx = New RegExp
With oRegEx
.Pattern = "Word:?*Definition:"
.IgnoreCase = True
.MultiLine = True
'Debug.Print sInputString
If (.test(sInputString) = True) Then
Set mcMatchedStrColl = .Execute(sInputString)
For Each mMatch In mcMatchedStrColl
TextFound = mMatch.Value
Set oRegEx = Nothing
Exit Function
Next
Else
TextFound = ""
End If
End With
Set oRegEx = Nothing
End Function

and here is how I call it:

Dim aString As String
. . .
aString = "Word: annoy. Definition:"
MsgBox ("Text found is: " & TextFound(aString ))
End Sub

Thank you in advance for any help on this. --- Alan

You seem to be in the wrong group with both
of your questions. This group is for VB. Your
first question is VBA. That's for MS Office?
VB and VBA and VBScript are 3 separate things.
(And then there's VB.Net, which gets into a
whole other kettle of fish.)

Maybe something like this would be good?

microsoft.public.office.developer.vba

Looking at the msnews server listings there seem
to be a lot of Office-related groups. But this isn't
one of them.

The RegExp is generally a scripting tool. Again,
it's possible someone here can help you but you're
really in the wrong group. If you don't get your
answer about RegExp in an Office group try:

microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript
