how to create a regex for non-english letters with vba's regex 5.5 -

i'm working vba, , started using regex library, finding numerals and/or english text had no problem far, need use on text fields contain mix of numbers , hebrew letters (addresses has several possible formats).

i have managed use in "dumb" way, can find literals , short patterns (such as, finding combination means postal box - 2 letter combined non-letter non number between them), can't use \w english - , make life whole lot better.

is there anyway create "custom" regular expressions , save them variables? example make (a regex single hebrew word):

regex.pattern = "(א|ב|ג|ד|ה|ו|ז|ח|ט|י|כ|ל|מ|נ|ס|ע|פ|צ|ק|ר|ש|ת|ם|ן|ף|ץ)+" 

and save \מ instance or \hw (short hebrew word), need make several types of patterns , several possible formats recognize, , save me lot of frustration (as ide don't have best interactions hebrew letters).

you can create own character class, , use in code:

dim hw string hw = "[אבגדהוזחטיכלמנסעפצקרשתםןףץ]+" regex.pattern = "^" + hw + "$" ' match isolated hebrew word 

or

regex.pattern = hw + " " + hw ' match 2 hebrew words separated space 

however, cannot "name" address \hw.
