Hi
I am trying to replace a call out to sp_OACreate whcih is using a Regex VBScript object.
Under the old hierarchy, the object model was:
Matches
-Match
-SubMatches
-SubMatch
However, under the new .NET Regex, the object available in CLR are:
Matches
-Match
-Groups
- Group
-Captures
Capture
Now I can't find any clear explanation of the new level which has been introduced, so I am finding it difficult to map one to the other.
Can anyone help? OR point me at some documentation?

The BOL is probably the best reference point for you:

Is there something specific that you are having a problem with this? Can you provide an example of your string, the regex, and what you expect the output to be? I rarely ever go past the matches collection and iterate over the individual match objects it contains when using regex in any CLR programming.
