If you are not new to VB.NET but are new to regular expressions, you need to get a free copy of "Pragmatic Guide to Regular Expressions for VB.NET Programmers". I wrote this guide because all of the sources that I researched for information on this topic, including Microsoft Help pages, did not properly address it from the viewpoint of someone new to regular expressions.
If you send me an email, I will return you a zipped file that includes a Word document, a VB.NET project plus a couple of other useful references that I have developed to assist in learning VB.NET. The Word document explains how to process regular expressions up to the point of using groups and the OR (|) character. The project contains a form that parses out over 100 predefined expressions into a verbal explanation of their behavior. You should find both of these useful while you are learning this topic.
Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Developing these materials is a work-in-progress. Someone needs to step to the plate and present this information in a useful format for programmers that are new to regular expressions.

It seems that Microsoft is using a new layout of message threads. If you want to email me, click on my name at the by: textbox at upper left corner of message.
It took me awhile to figure out how to get to my email address on this new layout. I was used to the layout that you get when you go to http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx.

Hi,
I am replaceing a big string using different regular expressions (see
some example at the end of the message). The problem is whenever I
apply a "replace" it makes a new copy of string and I want to avoid
that. My question here is if there is a way to pass either a memory
stream or array of "find", "replace" expressions or any other way to
avoid multiple copies of a string.
Any help will be highly appreciated

I'm kind of disappointed with the re regular expressions module. In
particular, the lack of support for recursion ( (?R) or (?n) ) is a
major drawback to me. There are so many great things that can be
accomplished with regular expressions this way, such as validating a
mathematical expression or parsing a language with nested parens,
quoting or expressions.
Another feature I'm missing is once-only subpatterns and possessive
quantifiers...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
