regexp replace question

[Bill McCormick]

Hello,

I'm new to VB.NET but have used regexp in Perl and VI.

I'd like to read a regular expression from a file and apply it to a
string read from another file. The regexp is simple word replace
operation, so my input regexp file lines might look like this:

/foo/bar/

So if a line in input file looked like "I'd like to foo", then the
output line would be "I'd like to bar".

It seems so simple, but I can't find the right form.

Cheers,

Dont know abt the regex part.
But if you have reached the point when you know you need to convert this
string to that,

Then you can use String.Replace method

I hope the initial part wasnt the real problem :-)

Understood. But I'd like to know how to do it with regexp.
