Hi Everyone..
I'm trying to read in a file (sample below) and sort the data (to
eventually be put in a database) based upon whether it's "Local Path",
"Remote Path", etc.

I read in all the lines separately. I get rid of the first few lines
(the ones beginning with "//") with a select case statement and then
have

case else
Dim Expr as string&#":; (.*)"
Dim SearchReg as New RegEx(Expr)
Dim SearchMatch as Match
SearchMatch&#Se;archReg.Match(thisline)
response.write(SearchMatch)
response.write("<BR/>")
sb.append (thisline & "<BR/>")
...
end select

(I was forced to use response.writes because SearchMatch isn't a string
so I couldn't use a trace.write to print it out, apparently....?)

But according to the example in Pro asp.net (page 832) when I search on
"homer(.*)", I'm not supposed to get any occurrence of "homer" in my
results, and I do get the beginning ": " in my results. Should I? How
do I get rid of it?

Or - can you think of a better way to be doing this?

Thanks,
Rachel

A "Match" object represents everything that was matched. In your case, =
you did actually match the colon, so it appears in the output.

Since SearchMatch is not a string, when you do a Response.Write on it, =
it is cast to a string via its ToString() method. And ToString() is =
equivalent to the Value property. So, if you want an explicit string =
from your Match object, use "SearchMatch.Value".

The string you want is within one of the Groups within your SearchMatch =
object. Parenthesized groups are numbered left-to-right starting at =
one. So, this expression should give you the string you want:
    SearchMatch.Groups(1).Value
