[Gambas-user] Re gular Expression Help

[hinchy]

Yeah I thought about doing something like that, the thing is though, I won't
always know how long the first word is. With the regex I can match until the
first white space. Is there a way of doing that with text splitting? If so
great. If not is there anywhere you could suggest I look for example regex
implementation in gambas?

Thanks again.
