ASP and input parsing

I am new to ASP, I am looking for something similar to "preg_match" and "preg_match_all" in PHP.

I have searched the forum with no luck. I hope you are able to give me some pointers

Basically I want to match some text from a form and loaded it into new variables making use of regular expressions.

the text comes form a textarea input type.

in PHP it would be something like this.



so it goes; match some static text then a space then a word of 2 to 3 letters, then a number of 1 to 10 digits from the textarea field and load it to array_values.

then the array_values result would be something like

(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => somestatictext AB1234567
)

[1] => Array
(
[0] => somestatictext
)

[2] => Array
(
[0] => AB1234567
)
)

then I can say


which is "AB1234567", then I can do whatever with it, like save it to file, database, display it in HTML, etc.

Any pointers, is this possible in ASP.

I hope I am being clear.

Thanks in advance.
