Continuing on with my app...

I'm loading the tweets I get into RichTextBox's (because it provides detectURL), and I'm looking at now trying to detect for replies (@'s)...I had thought about using a few different methods to find these and just asking for some opinions....

Regex? Trim? Split? (I know in PHP you could explode)....suggestions?

It is pretty simple to do with regex with something like:

@(\w+)

It is also pretty easy to write something from scratch for this type of thing...

You could also use the Instr() function in VB.

But if it's always going to start with "@", then just do a substring.
