  That's unfortunate. I was hoping you'd spend
2 or 3 days of grunt work, thoroughly testing
all options, then reporting the results so that
well all know. :)

  Personally, though, I consider life too short
for regex. Even if you found a slight improvement
over tokenizing I wouldn't turn to regex in the
future. If necessary I do what you were doing:
Write the speed functionality in compiled code,
to be called by VBS. But in general I don't find
that VBS is too slow for anything I need it to
do, as long as I optimize it.
