Value

Returns the text of the whole match.

Syntax: object.Value

object

required An object expression that evaluates to a Match.

Returns a String. The property is read-only.

Remarks

Value is the default member of Match, so an expression that needs a String can name the object alone.

The text is the part of the source string that begins at FirstIndex and has Length characters. The text captured by the groups of the pattern is in SubMatches.

Example

Dim re As New RegExp
re.Pattern = "[a-z]+"

Dim m As Match
Set m = re.Execute("42 apples").Item(0)

Dim text As String
text = m.Value
Debug.Print text  ' apples

text = m          ' the default member is Value
Debug.Print text  ' apples
