title: VBA match Greek words as whole words using regular expression
body: <p>I am trying to match greek characters in a regex pattern. It seems that VBA is quite limited on supporting Unicode, but I can do with ASCII if possible. Here is a sample code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Sub TestGreekRegEx()
  Dim str 
  str = "αυτό είναι ένα ελληνικό κείμενο"
  Set regEx = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
  regEx.Pattern = "\b[\xe1-\xfe]+\b"
  Set Matches = regEx.Execute(str)
  For Each Match In Matches
      MsgBox Match
  Next
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This return no matches at all. Also, if I loop in the str's character the ASCII codes that I get is within the range of \xE1 to \xFE.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
