Case-Insensitive Search
How do I make the following work? I want match.Success to be True regardless of the case. If the testString = "AAA" or testString = "aAa"
dim testString as string = "AAa"
Dim match As Match = Regex.Match(testString , "([\s\S])\1\1")
dim testString as string = "AAa"
Dim match As Match = Regex.Match(testString , "([\s\S])\1\1")

Why is the regex completely wrong? Are you saying this is not valid? I thought \s\S is the same as .

Sorry, how do I modify the following to do just that?
Dim match As Match = Regex.Match(testString , "(.)\1\1")
Dim match As Match = Regex.Match(testString , "(.)\1\1")

I solve my problem with the following solution:
Dim match As Match = Regex.Match(testString.ToL
Dim match As Match = Regex.Match(testString.ToL
Dim match As Match = Regex.Match(testString, "(?i)(.)\1\1")
should do also.
should do also.

Thanks! It does indeed.
Why not?
