(1) You need to set oRE.Global to true to find all the matches
(2) oRe.Test() only returns whether the match was successful. In order to get the results you have to use oRE.Execute(test)

Bear in mind that FirstIndex is zero based
	test = "{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033\deflangfe1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fprq2\fcharset134 SimSun;}}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs14\'d7\'f1\'ca\'d8\'b5\'b1\'b5\'d8\'b7\'a8\'b9\'e6\'b7\'cf\'c6\'fa\'c4\'da\'d7\'b0\'ce\'ef\'ba\'cd\'c8\'dd\'c6\'f7 }."

	Local oRE, matches, i
	oRE = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
	oRE.Pattern = "\\'([a-zA-Z0-9]+)"

	oRE.IgnoreCase = .f.
	oRE.Global = .t.
	matches = oRE.Execute(test)

	
	local match
	for i = 0 to matches.count-1
		match = m.matches.item[m.i]
		?m.match.FirstIndex, m.match.Length, m.match.Value

	endfor
