>(1) there's no search for a word char in VBScript other than the a-zA-Z, accented chars won't match
>(2) (positive and negative) lookbehind don't work. I think lookaheads do
>(3) there's no way to name a (sub) match. The only thing you can do is work with submatches and count the parentheses
>or write a group like class ( done that, it counts the parentheses)
>(4) No balancing groups http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bs2twtah.aspx#balancing_group_definition

Yess I guess I run into something with sub matches

Do you have an example to adress the .net thing out of VFP?
