I'm trying to match experience levels for various positions based on 1. Degree 2. Years of Experience. The pattern is fairly simple (example: "BS/5" would be a bachelors of science with 5 years of experience. I also have entries that follow this scheme but have multiple degrees and experience levels in the same string (example: "BS/5-MS/2") that are considered equivalent. I've got a basic function that will match and find the substring pattern but it never returns more than one match even though I've set the .Global property to true for the regexp object. Any ideas? Code below:
On Error Resume Next
ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References.AddFromGuid "{3F4DACA7-160D-11D2-A8E9-00104B365C9F}", 5, 5
Dim theRegex As Object
Dim theString As String
Set theRegex = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
With regex
.MultiLine = False
.Global = True
.IgnoreCase = False
End With
theRegex.Pattern = "([A-z][A-z][A-z]?/[0-9][0-9]?)"
theString = "MS/9-PhD/4"
Set MyMatches = theRegex.Execute(theString)
Debug.Print "SubMatches.Count: " & MyMatches.Item(0).SubMatches.Count
If MyMatches.Count <> 0 Then
With MyMatches
For myMatchCt = 0 To .Count - 1
Debug.Print "myMatchCt: " & myMatchCt
For subMtCt = 0 To .Item(subMtCt).SubMatches.Count - 1
Debug.Print "subMtCt: " & subMtCt
Debug.Print ("," & .Item(myMatchCt).SubMatches.Item(subMtCt))
Next
Next
End With
Else
Debug.Print "No Matches"
End If
