Dim expr: Set expr = New RegExp

Dim match, matches
Set matches = expr.Execute(theStr)
For Each match In matches
    response.write "item = " & match.SubMatches(0) & "<br />"
Next
Set matches = Nothing
Set expr = Nothing

In the for loop above i want to pick out the 11th occurance of the loop and take the 1st two characters and put it into a variable.

How is this done?

Use one int variable and increment by 1.
If that int variable becomes 11,extract the 1st two characters and assign it in variable.

Do i replace what i have with this:

Dim expr: Set expr = New RegExp
expr.Pattern = "[^:]*:([^,]*),?"
expr.Global = True
Dim matches
Set matches = expr.Execute(theStr)
If matches.Count > 10 Then
    yourVariable = "item = " & Left(Matches.Item(10).SubMatches(0), 2) & "<br />"
End If
Set matches = Nothing
Set expr = Nothing

That's the idea ;)
