Method

RegExMatch.SubExpressionStartB(matchNumber as Integer) As Integer

Supported for all project types and targets.

Returns the starting byte offset of the SubExpression given by matchNumber. SubExpressionStartB is zero-based.

Notes

To convert this byte offset into a 1-based character position (for use with String functions such as Mid and Left), use this code:

Var m As MemoryBlock
m = theString
characterPosition = m.LeftB(aRegExMatch.SubExpressionStartB(matchNumber)).Len + 1
