Can't Create Instance of Object 1

scripter73 · May 7, 2001

Hi,

Would anybody know why I can't create an instance of an object utilizing the New operator? My ASP engine runs standard ASP code okay, but when I add the New keyword, it complains about the syntax. This is the weirdest thing. I've checked the syntax in books and on sites. Following is some code that I copied straight from a website just to test.

<html><head><title></title></head>
<body>
<%

Dim str ' some string that needs to have certain words
' replaced with other words
str = "Apache Rules"
Dim objRegExp
Set objRegExp = New RegExp SYNTAX COMPLAINT

objRegExp.IgnoreCase = True
objRegExp.Global = True

'Replace all instances of Apache with IIS
objRegExp.Pattern = "\bApache\b"
str = objRegExp.Replace(str, "IIS&quot

'Repalce all instances of Perl with ASP
objRegExp.Pattern = "\bPerl\b"
str = objRegExp.Replace(str, "ASP&quot

Set objRegExp = Nothing 'Clean up!

response.write str

%>

</body>
</html>

Thanks in advance,

looks like vb code to me --

You should probably use a

set objRegExp = server.createObject("objectID&quot

Where object id is the parent library followed by a dot(.) and then the actual object --

such as

set rs = server.createobject("ADODB.Recordset&quot

I don't use regexp, so I don't know what needs to go in there, but that's where you're going wrong -- and you probably know what should go in there.

good luck!
