you do know the String type has a Substring method ?

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aka44szs(v=vs.110).aspx[^]

so in pseudocode (ie rough code thats not really any language except the string Substr and Remove ARE VB)

if barCodeString.Substr(0,2) == '27'
    // Put 1st 6 chars of bar code into TextBox 1
    TextBox1.Text = barCodeString.Substr(0,6)
    // Create a temporary String so as to not alter original
    String TempString = barCodeString
    // Delete the 1st 6 characters
    TempString.Remove(0,6)
    // Put the Remainder in TextBox2
    TextBox2.Text = TempString
end

Why complicate things with Regular expressions ? you just have to turn what Ive put into proper VB
