Hi all,

I want to know how to assin a return value to a variable when calling a regex function.
it always returns a bit type of value(its ok). i want that bit type of value tobe cheked whether it is '0' or '1'

this is my C# code in case if u need

namespace SearchBooksLibrary
{
    public partial class SqlRegularExpressions
    {

       
        public static int Like(string text, string pattern)
        {
            Match match = Regex.Match(text, pattern);
            if (match.Value != String.Empty)
                return 1;
            else
                return 0;
        }
    }
}

this is my assembly.

CREATE ASSEMBLY SqlRegularExpressions1 
from 'C:\Users\BJ\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Project1\SearchBooksLibrary\SearchBooksLibrary\bin\Debug\SearchBooksLibrary.dll' 
WITH PERMISSION_SET = SAFE

this is my function

CREATE function RegExpLike(@Text nvarchar(max), @Pattern nvarchar(255)) RETURNS bit 
AS EXTERNAL NAME SqlRegularExpressions1.[SearchBooksLibrary.SqlRegularExpressions].[Like]
