Since we are on the subject of roRegex, I was trying to figure out an approach to emulating the preg_match_all

Assuming you just want to capture every matched value, there may be a simpler way, but this is the brute force method I used... this does modify the original string, so you may want to use a copy instead.

values = []
matches = regex.Match( response )
iLoop = 0
While matches.Count() > 1
	values.Push( matches[ 1 ] )
	
	' remove this instance, so we can get the next match
	response = regex.Replace( response, "" )
	matches = regex.Match( response )

	' if we've looped more than 500 times, then we're
	' probably stuck, so exit
	iLoop = iLoop + 1
	If iLoop > 500 Then
		Exit While
	End If
End While
