Oh crap! Those are bad words? I thought bad words were FEMA, FDA, EPA, IRS, Homeland Security, stuff like that. : Plus looping through every word in the list would invariably : be slow. Here is an example of one such regex: : : /(?:bull)shit/i : : My problem here is getting the ending on there. I want this : regex to also match the words, shithead, shitter, etc, etc. Have you looked at the Regexp::Common::profanity module. If it doesn't fit your need, perhaps the source can give a few pointers. HTH, Charles K.
