Regular Expression, detecting certain words
Hi,
I've got a regular expression that checks if sentences such as "A duck is a bird" or "A kitten is a cat" are valid:
^(A)\s\w+\s(is)\s(a)\s\w+$
I'm using vb.net and I want to tell which words are different, i.e I want to pickup from the first sentence "duck" and "bird" and "kitten" and "cat" from the second one. How can I do this?
Cheers,
Col.

Also, I tried this but it didn't quite work:
Dim test As String = "A duck is a bird"
Dim re As New Regex("^(A)\s\w+\s(is)\s(a
test = re.Replace(test, "$1 $2 $3 $4 $5")
Response.Write("<br/>'" + test + "'")
Dim test As String = "A duck is a bird"
Dim re As New Regex("^(A)\s\w+\s(is)\s(a
test = re.Replace(test, "$1 $2 $3 $4 $5")
Response.Write("<br/>'" + test + "'")
