finally Application.Doevents() after changing the text of the label worked great. THANKS!!! :)

No I haven't... does this have anything to do with Multi Threading?

Hello, I hope someone can help me figure this out. I have coded an application that will send a mail message to a list of about 250 e-mail addresses. The program connects to a database in order to retrieve this list, then adds them to an Array and then goes through this erray to send the mail message to each address. This process works fine, but I wanted to have my program display in a label a message that shows the user what is the program doing at a certain point. For example: "Connecting to database..." "Retrieving list of addresses..." "Sending message to: address@email.com" etc.. The problem is that as soon as I click on the Submit button the program freezes all through the process and I am only able to see the last message when all the process is finished. Is there something that I am missing so that the program will actually preserve its flow and display all messages while going through the entire process? Any help will be appreciated.

Hello, I have this regular expressions (thanks to jo0ls for providing it) ([A-Za-z0-9']+)|([^A-Za-z0-9']+) But I would like to add the functionality to also detect in the first class words that have a number attached to them, for example 9word word9word word6 ... The first cass DOES this but it will also detect numbers that are all by themselves without a word attached... and this is what I am trying to avoid.. any ideas? e.g: word -> matches first class word9 -> matches first class 9word9 -> matches first class wo9rd -> matches first class 8 -> matches second class 10 -> matches second class any other char -> matches second class
