server side validation and regular expressions

[leeolive]

Hi

I am working on server side validation and have found some code from

http://www.asphonolulu.com/Samples/...mvalidation.asp

that looks great. Only thing is it works perfectly on their site but when I download it, it comes up with this error

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b0'

File name or class name not found during Automation operation: 'RegExp'

/Expat/validationtest.asp, line 22

I have followed their link to this site

http://regexlib.com/

with info on Regular Expressions, but have no idea what this is all about. Do I need to download another page or what??

How do I get it to recognise RegExp? Please could someone enlighten me. It all looks interesting but no comprendo.

Thanks!
Lee

sounds like you're not running a scripting engine version that supports RegEx

SOunds like you need to get the MS Scripting engine version 5.5 or later... RegExp support is only really available from v5.5

I'm fairly certain the download is available from the MS website

Thanks,



Hope this helps,

Thanks for getting back!

I have done a test to see which version I have and get
VBScript
5
6

If regexp support only starts from v5.5 then I guess I should donwload this. I have now searched high and low to find a download and can't locate one, not even on the ms site. Can anyone help with this? Also, please could you confirm that this should not affect my system.

Thanks!

here's the url:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...familyid=c717d943-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa

as far as I am aware this shouldn't upset your system it's a microsoft install so hopefully they will have checked it!

you should only have to install the latest version of IE and the scripting engine will be upgraded along with it
