Can I Do Regular Expressions Using TSQL In SQL Server2005?

I am running PHP with SQL Server 2005. I have [bold] in some of the values in my result set, which needs to be striped out. I had a function in SQL Server2000 that did that, but the same function does not work in SQL Server2005. Any dieas?


CREATE FUNCTION

dbo.fn_regex(@pattern varchar(255), @matchstring varchar(8000))

RETURNS int

AS

BEGIN

declare @obj int

declare @res int

declare @match bit

set @match=0



exec @res=sp_OACreate 'VBScript.RegExp',@obj OUT

IF (@res <> 0) BEGIN

RETURN NULL

END



exec @res=sp_OASetProperty @obj, 'Pattern', @pattern

IF (@res <> 0) BEGIN

RETURN NULL

END



exec @res=sp_OASetProperty @obj, 'IgnoreCase', 1

IF (@res <> 0) BEGIN

RETURN NULL

END



exec @res=sp_OAMethod @obj, 'Test',@match OUT, @matchstring

IF (@res <> 0) BEGIN

RETURN NULL

END



exec @res=sp_OADestroy @obj

return @match

END
