[RESOLVED] Regex Help

[paulmak10]

Hello I don't understand regex fully but I found a great javascript function that does exactly what I need, How would I convert this properly to vb.net? I've tried a few things but could not get the same exact regex string to work when doing it the vb.net way...any thoughts? Any help would be appreciated.

function maxRepeat(input) {
            var reg = /(?=((.+)(?:.*?\2)+))/g;
            var sub = ""; 
            var maxstr = ""; 
            reg.lastIndex = 0; 
            sub = reg.exec(input); 
            while (!(sub == null)) {
                if ((!(sub == null)) && (sub[2].length > maxstr.length)) {
                    maxstr = sub[2];
                }
                sub = reg.exec(input);
                reg.lastIndex++; 
            }
            return maxstr;
        }

This functions returns the largest sequence of characters that appear at least twice. "one two one three one four" would return "one t" <--with space || "onetwoonethreeonefour" would return "onet"

"324234241122332211345435311223322112342345541122332211234234324" returns "1122332211234234"


So far no luck with getting the same results as with javascript even with tweaking the regex string around a bit.. there must be something I don't understand.

Dim regex As Regex = New Regex("/(?=((.+)(?:.*?\2)+))/g")
        Dim match  = regex.Matches("one two three one four",0)
            MsgBox(match.count)   <---find anything?

What is the vb.net regex engine equivalent of "/(?=((.+)(?:.*?\2)+))/g"?
