[VB] Like operator not functioning?

[_EmJ_]

I'm trying to create the following statement in my VB code, but I'm getting a "Sub or Function not defined" error. My question is, how do you use the Like operator with InDesign scripting? InDesign doesn't seem to recognize the Like operator.

"myCurrentString" contains a letter.

If myCurrentString Like "[A-z]" Then
End If

I'm also trying to do the following:

If myCurrentDigit Like "[0-9]" Then
End If

'You can do this in VBScript...

Dim re
Set re = New RegExp
With re
.Pattern = "[A-Z]"
.Global = True
.IgnoreCase = False
End With
targetString = "A"
msgbox re.Test(targetString)

'8 lines more than you'd like.

I couldn't find "RegExp" in the InDesign script model--could you give a bit more information about what this is? I don't know how to iterate through the contents of an XMLElement as individual character objects, so I'm iterating throught XML.contents, putting each character in a basic string variable. I need a way to put strings into a With statement, or a Like operator. I haven't had success with either technique.

Here's an example:

strTime = myCurrentXMLElement.contents
strTime = Trim(strTime)
strLength = Len(strTime)
For counter = 1 to strLength
strTemp = Mid(strTime, counter, 1)
[This is where I need to find out if strTemp is a letter or a digit]

RegExp is not part of the Indesign Script Model but a Visual Basic class that handles regular expressions, equivalent of System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(pattern, regex_options) in VB.Net.
