Static word As New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("[a-zA-Z]+\s", 
System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.Compiled Or

How do I count syllables in each word I have counted. I can count syllables in whole tectbox but can’t find a way to process each word I have counted seperately. I would like to use regular expressions like I have used already if it is possible

    Syllables are a specific set of string over an alphabet on a given language. Different languages, sharing the same alphabet, may have different sets of syllables.
    The syllables set is enumerative: i.e. you have to list all the set element to completly describe the set.

    Regular expressions instead let you define a set through a property. For example, the expression /g\w{1,5}/ over the latin alphabet defines the set of all the words starting with ‘g’ and length between 2 and 6.
