RegExp problem

[butler]

Greetings,

I have a VB program that uses the clsRegExp from the 'Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5'. I'm wondering if this is a bug?

I have this string: "here’s proof of what I’ve been saying"
And this expression: [\200-\377]

Basically what this does is scan email for ascii characters greater than 127. The string has 2 of these characters (’) and VB correctly identifies this as:

asc(’)=146
oct(asc(’))=222

which is all correct. But for some reason, the clsRegExp.text does not pick this up. It does pick up other out of range characters but not the (’).

Can anyone explain?

Thanks,

Interesting. That would seem to be a genuine bug...
