Textarea return position where pattern is found.

General
1

is there a way that the TextArea could return the position of where the start of a pattern is found ?
or
is there a provision in Regex ( Regular Expression ) where the Regex could return the charactrer position where a pattern starts ?

2

The Instr method can tell you where in a string (such as the TextArea.Text property) a pattern begins.

ah yes that’s right, it’s not Regex, but the next best thing.

Thank you
