group regex and replace

Ok, asp classic site.
 
I have a page/doc description.
 
Now, one of the descriptions has a very very long string in it something like:
The is the description of adfaslkdfhasdfasdhfaadgjadfgjadgjasf
 
Well, it's much longer though.  A bad doc I guess but there could be more.
 
So, need to take this description, test it and maybe remove it or replace with "".
Been trying to look into group regex for length of 70 and replace that string group with ""
 
I've gotten this far and just can't seem to find the solution to this:
 
Set RegularExpressionObject = New RegExp

With RegularExpressionObject
.Pattern = ".{80,}"
.IgnoreCase = True
.Global = True
End With

'expressionmatch = RegularExpressionObject.Test(desc)
Set expressionmatch = RegularExpressionObject.Execute(desc)

If expressionmatch Then
'desc = "test"
End If
 
 
This needs to be adjusted to if in desc, the string to search, replace any work longer than 80 with empty string or "".
 
Any suggestions out there?
 
Thanks,

Here is an example:
 
 
Option Explicit
Dim oRE : Set oRE = New Regexp
Dim strTest
strTest = "This is the first bit. Thisisareallylongstringabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz This is the last bit of text."
oRE.Pattern = "\w{80,}"
WScript.Echo oRE.Replace(strTest, "")

I have been banging my head on this one for a while.
 
You are an absolute life saver!
 
Thanks!!!!!!
