Regex and Read File step
 
I'm trying to use regex in a Read File Step. I'm looking for a substring match. However I cannot get VBP to return a positive results regardless of how vague the regex.

Is there a problem using regex in 8.4 ( or more likely... what am I doing wrong?)

Using VBP 8.4

Here are the steps to see my issue:

Define a group capture for the expression: (\w)

Or uncheck Include all matches and use something like \w*

Above works great however using VBP's regular expressions how do you parse one or two or three digits from either a string or a file?

(/d/d) works only for two digits.

\d+ or \d{2,3}
