Problems with Reg Pattern "[^"]\$[A-Z]*[0-9]"
I am having a problem usng this regex pattern in VBA:
[^"]\$[A-Z]*[0-9] When I put it into quotes: "[^"]\$[A-Z]*[0-9]" It highlights the first ] and says Invalid Character. I am assuming that it has something to do with the way VBA uses quotes for text strings. What do I have to do to get around this? Thanks EM |

Not sure, but I think I read something about that before.... and they used double quotes... ""[^\$[A-Z\*[0-9]"" "ExcelMonkey" wrote in message ...

I do not work with RegEx myself (or at least I haven't for many, many years
now), but I think your problem is with the embedded quote mark. You must double them up with inside a String constant (text with quote marks at the beginning and end of the text). Try this pattern and see if it works... "[^""]\$[A-Z]*[0-9]" Rick "ExcelMonkey" wrote in message ...
