A cheap 3d party string matching functionality
Does anyone know where I can find a good set of VB friendly string matching functions like in awk/Perl. It can be freeware/shareware or 3d party product with a full implementation of regular expressions. I'm looking for is a set of function for string pattern matching like gsub(regexp, repl, string), match(string, regexp), split(string, array, regexp)
and so on. I'm interested only in the products with the price tag < $40
and so on. I'm interested only in the products with the price tag < $40

Mithomas, thanks for your help. I have Videosoft Awk but it doesn't have regular expression functionality (in fact they stated in the help file that that was their conscious design decision and the main difference with the "real" Awk). I'm flexible on price - if Regular expressions are just thrown in together with some other useful stuff I'll buy them, but it seems too much to pay $119 for regular expressions alone (Written in VB and therefore slow).
Sorry about that. Clearly I have not used their offering, and am now wondering about the usefulness of their product. Good luck (again)...

Waty, your functions, though useful, are certainly not regular expression handling functionality I'm looking for. However as my chances to get any answer to this question are slim by now, and you always try to help people and maintain an excelent Web site, I will except it. Thanks.
VideoSoft has an AWK control that is packaged in with their VSx products. Check out VideoSoft® VS-OCX® 6.0 at http://www.videosoft.com. Unfortunately, they don't have price info there (that I could find).
Good luck...
