Using a RegEx for this is serious overkill. But if you insist...
> x=match as boolean
..then this line should be:
if match <> nil then x = true
Or if you like brevity, make it:
x = (match <> nil)
Or, ditch x altogether and just do:
if match is Nil then
editfield2.text = "it's not there"
else
editfield2.text = "it's there"
end if
But I say ditch the RegEx too, and either use InStr, or grab the StringUtils
module from <http://www.verex.com/opensource/> so you can just say:
if EditField1.text.Contains("Saturday") then...
