How to detect syntax and change the colour of the string using regex?

Hi guys,

I'm new to Visual basic. M using vb studio 2010. started it today. Learnt to build a notepad using rich text box.Now i want to change the colour of specific words/syntax as soon as they are typed in the rich text box. the string would be a mixer of words and numbers. I want specific words in Blue and the numbers in red. I want to use regex and change the this colour as soon as they r typed.
please guide me.
Thanx in advance
