RegExp - Anyone translate from Javascript to ASP (VBScript)?

[starblood]

I have a Javascript Regular Expression working to locate two or more consecutive '<BR>' tags in a string. Trouble is (for various reasons) it isn't a great solution to do it client side - can anyone translate this to work in ASP (VBScript) - I ahve had a go and can't get it to work:

var HasItGotBreaks = StringName.match(/((<br>\s+)|(<br>)){2,}/gi);

Is the task really as simple as locating two consecutive break tags?

If so the following should work fine:

blnHasItGotBreaks = Instr(1,UCase(StringName),"<BR><BR>")>0

Cheers for the reply Neil. The task isn't that simple unfortunately:

*The '<BR>' tags could have white space inbetween them (hence the \s+ in my Javascript example)
*I'm looking for AT LEAST two consecutive examples not an EXACT match
*It can't be case sensitive

The Javascript sample quoted does the trick - but I need it server side.

This should work:
(untested)

Dim oRE

Set oRE = New RegExp
oRE.Global = True
oRE.IgnoreCase = True
oRE.Pattern = "((<br>\s+)|(<br>)){2,}"

HasItGotBreaks = oRE.Test(StringName)
