Returns the length of a match found in a search string.
object.Length
The object argument is always a Match object.
The following code illustrates the use of the Length property:
Function RegExpTest(patrn, strng)
Dim regEx, Match, Matches ' Create variable.
Set regEx = New RegExp ' Create regular expression.
regEx.Pattern = patrn ' Set pattern.
regEx.IgnoreCase = True ' Set case insensitivity.
regEx.Global = True ' Set global applicability.
Set Matches = regEx.Execute(strng) ' Execute search.
For Each Match in Matches ' Iterate Matches collection.
RetStr = RetStr & "Match " & I & " found at position "
RetStr = RetStr & Match.FirstIndex & ". Match Length is "
RetStr = RetStr & Match.Length
RetStr = RetStr & " characters." & vbCRLF
Next
RegExpTest = RetStr
End Function
MsgBox(RegExpTest("is.", "IS1 is2 IS3 is4"))
