I'm not sure about regexes, but I know that VB has the split function. It looks from MSDN like the only pattern-matching function VB6 has is Like, which has some similarities to Perls, but also some differences. > ..I was wondering whether anyone > had been able to utilize perl from within VB, and if > so, how? You might look into the .Net framework. The commercial offerings from ActiveState offer a Visual Studio .Net plug-in. From what I have seen of VS .Net, VB is much better integrated with other languages. There seems now to be a genuinely common object hierarchy among the different language tools it contains, and I presume this should make the integration of Perl much easier.
