Description: Expected quantifier in regular expression
Number: 0x800A139A The Cause of Error 800A139AThe underlying cause is a syntax error in the definition of the pattern in the regular expression it self. Option explicit
Dim matches, model, filename, oFSO
Set oFSO = createObject(�scripting.filesystemobject)
Set model = New RegExp
model.pattern = "*\.txt|*\.cpp"
filename = oFSO.getFolder(�path�).File The SolutionIn this example, keep your eye on the dots or periods (.) In the pattern: "*\.txt " the problem is that the ‘*’ is a repetition symbol of the previous character, and in the above example I the character before the ‘*’ is missing. Consequently, the solution is to put in a character, this is should be: ".*\.txt" (and not "*\.txt".) Your precise solution may vary from this script. Best to research the pattern matching syntax, for example
= "*\.txt|*\.cpp" .
