Regex match conversion

[CAM_Geek]

I am trying to change the string I get from a Regex match. I keep getting an invalid cast from a Match object to a string. I am fairly new to this so any help is appreciated.

rghfinMatch = (rghfinRegex.Match(strTool))
rghfinStrip = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(CStr(rghfinMatch), 1)

Thanks in adavnce,
Wil
