Regular Expression
In article .com,
says...
So I am new to
VB
Macros in Excel and I swear I came across some method
called .contains where if a cell contained the string or regular
expression you were searching for it returned a boolean of True or
false if it didn't find it.
Now that I am returning to my notes I can't find it, nor can I find it
in books or on-line.
Has anyone heard of this or is there a better way to check if a cell's
contents conform to a particular pattern?
Thanks!
In addition to Harlan's suggestion, to use regular expressions in a UDF,
check
