Re: Match text - case sensitive

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

reg expressions shouldnt be used if youre not matching a pattern. if youre
simply looking for a string, use string functions... InStr, Left, Mid,
Right... to convert case before matching you can use Lcase and Ucase

Hello,

I'm trying to write a script that will match a particular string and it

must be lower case. After it creates a collection based off that
logic, it will loop through the collection with the entries that match.

Here is my attempt so far. I've seen some stuff on InStr but from
what I'm reading it seems that Regular Expressions is the better way to

go. A little help please, thanks.


Dim oUser, strLogFile, strUserDN, objUser, email
Dim colMatches
Dim objRegExpr


oUser = "LDAP://CN=test,CN=Users,DC=test,DC=com";
Set objUser = GetObject(oUser)
Set objRegExpr = New regexp


objRegExpr.Pattern = "smtp:"
objRegExpr.IgnoreCase = False


For Each email In objUser.GetEx("proxyAddresses")
email = Left(email,5)
WScript.Echo email
Set colMatches = objRegExpr.Execute(email)
Next
'objUser.SetInfo
For Each objMatch in colMatches
WScript.echo objMatch.Value
Next
