Substring object represent matched pattern enclosed inside the parenthesis. Pattern expression can contain 9 subexpressions enclosed in the parenthesis.

Example:

  Dim re
  Set re = CreateObject("sgRegExp.RegExp")
  re.Expression = "(a+)[^c]*(c+)"
  re.Match "a bb ccc dddd"

After successful match, pattern expression "(a+)[^c]*(c+)" results in three substrings:

Substrings(0) full match "a bb ccc"
Substrings(1) first substring "a"
Substrings(2) second substring "ccc"
