Global Property

Sets or returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the pattern matches all or only the first of the entire search string.

object.Global [= True | False ]

Object arguments are always RegExp objects. If the search applies to the entire string, the value of theGlobal property is True, otherwise its value is False. The default setting is False.

Description

The following code illustrates the use of the Global property (changing the value assigned to the global property and observing its effect):

Function RegExpTest(patrn, strng) Dim regEx ,match,matches         ' Create a variable. Set regEx = New RegExp         ' Establish a canonical expression. regEx.Pattern = patrn         ' Set the mode. regEx.IgnoreCase = True         ' Sets whether the letter is case-sensitive. regEx.Global = True            ' Set the whole course nature.set matches= regEx.Execute(strng)      ' Perform a search.for each match in matches        ' Duplicate Matching CollectionRetStr=RetStr &"Match found at position "RetStr=RetStr&Match.FirstIndex&".Match Value is '"RetStr=RetStr&Match.Value&"'."&vbCRLF NextRegExpTest=RetStrEnd FunctionMsgBox(RegExpTest("is.", "IS1 is2 IS3 is4"))
