You could just do something a bit more simple:

strTarget = "SatSun";
strResult = (Left(strTarget, 3) & "," & Right(strTarget, 3));

Subject: Regex Help Needed

CF5.  In the following I keep getting a bad backreference error.  I 
thought the nested expressions in parens should give me \1 = entire 
matching string, then \2 = first submatch, \3 = 2nd submatch, etc.

I'm taking a string containing concatenated three-character weekday 
abbreviations and expanding them.  Example:

SatSun => Sat,Sun

re = 
'((sun)(mon)|(mon)(tue)|(tue)(wed)|(wed)(thu)|(thu)(fri)|(fri)(sat)|(sat)(su
n))';
s = REReplaceNoCase(s, re, '\2,\3', 'all');    // adjacent weekdays
