Display arabic alphabet with Vb.Net

I'm confused. You say you are displaying an English alphabet, but you are showing a regex, which would be used to match patterns, or in this case English letters. Are you saying you want to match Arabic characters? If so, you should be able to just paste in the range using charmap (or if you have an Arabic keyboard). You'll probably need to set the RightToLeft option on your regex.

Here is an example--forgive me, I cannot read Arabic, so this may not make sense as I pulled it from the following site:  http://www.shariahprogram.ca/Arabic-alphabet.shtml

Please note the structure of the code (I am including an image in case EE doesn't display the characters properly). It also seems that word boundary has an issue with Arabic script. I may be doing something incorrectly though. You'll have to experiment with that part of the pattern.

string text = "¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿";
MatchCollection words = Regex.Matches(text, "[¿-¿]+");

Select allOpen in new window

The VB version:

Dim text As String = "¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿"
Dim words As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(text, "[¿-¿]+")

Select allOpen in new window

I will test this code and return back.
