RE: Visual Basic & RegEx

Hi

I actually think that it is worth it considering A: you get 3
programming languages, plus heaps of server/client tools, plus heaps of
nice extras; and B: you don't pay much more for it than Photoshop and
that's nowhere near as complex/extensive program; and finally C: VB.Net
is such a huge upgrade really when you think about it and the ability to
use full OOP is great. However it's not worth it I suppose if you
compare it to the fact that you can actually write .Net programs for
free if you have Win2K or WinXP.

Later,
Brett

You might check around and find an ActiveX or VB extension that adds
RegEx 
functionality to VB. Might be much cheaper than upgrading to VB.net
(even a 
Windows-worshipping programmer friend of mine says the MS .NET
development 
stuff is too expensive.
