grep in visual basic scripting

[Kelly]

Hi,
Can I use grep a statement from a file in visual basic?

example: grep "test here" file.txt

Thanks.

No, you can't use any of those mysterious, barely-a-syllable,
Unix function names. :)

There are regular expressions functions in the later versions
of VBScript.dll, but they were put there for scripting so I don't
know whether they might be too slow for what you want. You should
be able to try them out by setting a reference to vbscript.dll.

Re: grep in visual basic scripting

I realized after answering that that you're asking about
vbscript. Your subject says VBS, your post says VB.
For VBS, look up the VBScript.RegExp object.

Also, this is a VB newsgroup. You can ask about VBS
in microsoft.publi c.scripting.vbs cript
