Regular Expression problem

[Laeg]

Dim rx As New Regex("/^0\d{1,3)-\d{5,7}/")

If(Not(rx.IsMatch("01-12345")))Then
' Why is this executed?
End if

Can anyone tell me why the pattern above does not match the string?

A couple things:
1. Your regex requires the '/' character
2. You have a ')' instead of a '}'

try
"^\d{1,3}-\d{5,7}"
