    Regex question

    I have been googling for about an hour now looking for an example of
    how to locate multiple occurrences of a regular expression and
    iterate through the matches to extract each one. I need to extract all
    occurrences of \d{15} out of a string that will also include carrige
    returns, white spaces and other possible characters in random orders.
    All help is greatly appreciated
    Thanks!

      try this pattern: \\d\{15\} (turn on the ignore whitespace option)

      The regex class has a "Matches" collection which allows you to iterate
      through it.

              Sure, just took a look at it... I'm hardly a pro at Regular Expressions,
              but I prefer using regex rather than manually parsing with if loops ;-)

                  so this expression would match multiple instances of 15 digits in a
                  string? Ill give it a try. thanks!
