Why is this regex not working? (Solved)

[xcaliber13]

Sorry to have to ask for regex help again.  I figured I would try it on my own before asking.   I tested a few different regex patterns at www.myregextester.com.  I got one to work at the website tester and was like yeah I am finally starting to get this regex shit.  But then I use it in autoit and it does not work????   Here is my code:

For $i = UBound($aArray) - 1 To 0 Step -1
    If $aArray[$i][7] = '(?m)^\bLT HT\b.*' Then
        _ArrayDelete($aArray,$i)
    EndIf
Next

So in my array in column 7 if the cell begins with LT HT delete that line.  What the hell am I doing wrong?   Thank you for any help.   I really dislike regex.

You aren't using any Regex function so have no idea what you are trying here.
Maybe you can post a simple scripted that actually runs and explains what you want?

A bit vulgar, isn't it?

To say that, you should provide a script in which there is at least a couple of test strings, and not just a piece of script.

It dislikes you as well with this behaviour

EDIT: And yes, as @Jos pointed out, you are complaining about RegExes without using those; very smart.

maybe this helps... it creates autoit code at least  

based on the info you gave i can't help you otherwise - no context

Jos, FrancescoDiMuro   thank you for pointing out that I was not using a regex function.  That was totally the issue.
