Help with RegExp

[gosu]

$line = "Posteingang für <b>hans@test.de</b> (7):"
if RegExp($line, "<b>hans@test.de</b> \(\d):", "Test") Then
    MsgBox(0, "", UBound($Test))
Else
    MsgBox(0, "", "ERROR!")
EndIf

$Test is always empty. It matches, but how can I get the value in the brackets?

I haven't looked into the RegEx stuff yet, but working from my past RegEx experience, I think the problem is with the \ in front of your (. This is telling the function to evaluate it as an actual bracket character, instead of the RegEx command. I think what you want, although I'm guessing here, is something like this:

RegExp($line, "<b>hans@test.de</b> \((\d)\):", "Test")

This checks for actual bracket characters around a digit character (assuming \d stands for digit). Thus, this will harvest the 7 out of the brackets, leaving you with just the number.

The problem is mixing actual parentheses and the grouping parentheses.

if RegExp($line, "<b>hans@test.de</b> \((\d+)\):", "Test") Then

The number (as a string) will be stored in $Test[0].

I am currently rewriting the RegExp so that the line would be changed to:

$Test = RegExp($line, "<b>hans@test.de</b> \((\d+)\):")
If @Error = 0 Then
