           Summary: VBScript Regular Expression parser: cannot access
                    results
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-ole

I'm using the 20031016 release of Wine on RH8. I have some Visual FoxPro code that needs to 
parse regular expressions. The only way to do that is to instantiate a VBScript.RegExp object. The 
VBScript classes are part of the Windows Script Host, so I downloaded the Windows Script Host 
v5.6 from http://tinyurl.com/b81y, and installed it into Wine without any problems. 

The VBScript.RegExp has a pretty clunky interface; it requires several layers of sub-object to get 
the results. Here's a sample of the code you need to get a regular expression match. In it, I'm 
trying to extract the digits in the middle of a serial number:

loRegEx = CREATEOBJECT("VBScript.RegExp")
loRegEx.Pattern = "[a-z]+([0-9]+)[a-z]+"
loExtract = loRegEx.Execute("The serial number is zx8392ks")
loResult = loExtract.Item(0)
* This next line throws an error
lcDigits = loResult.SubMatches(0)
RETURN lcDigits

If you run that code in Visual FoxPro under Wine, it proceeds along fine until the line indicated. 
Trying to access the SubMatches child object of the result item always results in an error message 
that reads:

OLE error code 0x80004005: Unknown COM status code

This isn't very informative to me, but I'm hoping that someone here will know how to fix this. 
Without being able to access the SubMatches object, using Regular Expressions in VFP is 
impossible. I've tried all sorts of expressions and patterns, and they all work well running VFP in 
Windows, but throw an error when running under Wine.

In my wine config file, I have the following settings:

; Visual FoxPro 8:
[AppDefaults\\vfp8.EXE\\Version]
"Windows" = "win2k"

[AppDefaults\\vfp8.EXE\\DllOverrides]
"oleaut32" = "native, builtin"
"odbc32" = "native"
