vbscript Classic ASP Regular Expression VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8)

Okay, this is the problem:

I am getting this error message when I am trying to run the following script

Dim rg
Dim match

Set rg = New RegExp

rg.Pattern = "Mod Read Access"
rg.Global = True

roles = Session("Roles")
Set match = rg.Test(roles)

it chokes at the rg.Test(roles) point.

I suspect that I may be doing something wrong since I don't normally program in asp classic. What exactly am I doing wrong?

Instead of:

Set match = rg.Test(roles)

try:

match = rg.Test(roles)

Set is used for object assignment. The Test method returns a Boolean not an object, hence calling it with Set fails (runtime error 800a01a8 is "Object required").

The RegularExpressionObject could not be found, that is the error code your receive. Also regular expressions with cscript of vbscript will result in memory leaks.
