ASP Regular Expression Help

[sin010101]

I am trying to pull out an ID number from a string, but cannot figure it out. I have this regex:

Dim string
string = "newline <html><body>new line NAME: John Doe<br />SUBSCRIBER ID: 0010101 <span>more text</span>"

Set SubsriberRegEx = New RegExp
With SubsriberRegEx
.Pattern = "SUBSCRIBER\s+I D:\s+(\d+)"
.IgnoreCase = True
.Global = True
End With

What i want to do is just print out $1, the closest thing i have found is:
Response.Write( SubsriberRegEx. Replace(string, "Subscriber ID: $1"))

Which Prints out:
Subscriber ID: 0010101 more text

Notice the "more text". The problem is that the variable "string" is actually a huge file with a lot of weird characters inside of it.

I know i could change this example regex to:
.Pattern = "SUBSCRIBER\s+I D:\s+(\d+).*"

and that would work in this example, but the file I am using has a lot of characters that ".*" do not match, such as special characters, tabs, newlines.

Is there a way to only access $1 without using the Replace method?
maybe something like:
Set SubscriberID = SubsriberRegEx. Execute(string) .$1

Any help would be much appreciated.

is there any way to narrow down how many characters the id will be? is there always a space after it? Is there ever a space in the midst of the ID?
