# RegionsCollection Object (IRegionsCollection Interface)

This object represents a collection of [Region](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/supplementary-objects-and-methods/region) objects.

* The indexing of ABBYY FineReader Engine collections starts with 0.
* The foreach statement in C# (for each in Visual Basic .NET) can be used to manipulate the collection.
