This is not related to libnodave...

Rob, I see that code in the vb import add-on you did in the IDE:

STATIC PUBLIC FUNCTION match(subject AS String, pattern AS String) AS Boolean

  DIM r AS Regexp
  IF Not subject THEN RETURN FALSE
  IF Not pattern THEN RETURN FALSE
  r = NEW Regexp(subject, pattern)
  IF (r.Offset >= 0) THEN
    RETURN TRUE
  ELSE
    RETURN FALSE
  ENDIF

END

Can you add a class named "Matches" with a static "_call" method that 
implements the same behaviour ?

This way, for simple uses of RegExp, user will only have to call:

IF Matches("MyString", "MyPattern") THEN ...

What do you think about that ?
