RegEx query of text file doesn't find any matches
The following code is intended to open a text file and search for any matches from a list of strings then output how many results it finds. For some reason, it's always "finding" 0.
validcards=array("NVIDIA GRID K140Q","AMD FirePro S7150","VMware SVGA 3D")
textFile = fso.opentextfile("_cards.txt",1,0,1).readall
set fso=nothing
set query = new regexp
with query
.global=true
.multiline=true
.ignorecase=true
.pattern="^.*?" & join(validcards,".*?") & ".*?$"
end with
counter = 0
set results = query.execute(textFile)
for each result in results
stdout.WriteLine escape(result)
counter = counter + 1
next
When I output counter it is always zero. What am I missing? Here is what the text file looks like:
Name
VMware SVGA 3D
The text file is generated using wmic path win32_VideoController get name > _cards.txt
UPDATE
In desperation, I just printed out the file after it's loaded. It looks like this:
■N a m e
V M w a r e S V G A 3 D
I was able to fix this by changing the OpenTextFile line to textFile = fso.opentextfile("_cards.txt",1,0,-1).readall. However, the regex still is not working.

I changed the pattern to the following and now it seems to be working fine:
.pattern="^.*(" & join(validcards,"|") & ").*$"
