Remarks
The Match method can be used to test any string against a regular expression. The regular expression must conform to the W3C's XML Schema specification for regular expressions (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#regexs).
Note: The XML Schema specification for regular expressions is different from regular expressions in Perl.
