I am trying to extract text between two html tags (<span style='font-size: 1.25em;'> and </span>

However I cannot seem to figure out how ASP defines groups such as (.*)

 Any ideas where I am going wrong?

 

</p><p>With RegularExpressionObject
.Pattern = &quot;&lt;span style=''font-size: 1.25em;''&gt;(.*)&lt;/span&gt;'
.IgnoreCase = False
.Global = True
End With</p><p>

In VBScript groups are in the SubMatches collection of the Match object. Also your regex will over match if there is more than one span on a line.
