Ray, I don't think there is any real difference. I am just grouping my characters [_12]+ and noting that at least one item (+) is required for the match.
He is just listing them as being "OR"'d. Grouping [] inherently denotes OR. The | is an explicit OR. Also, if your example get's bigger, the | actually breaks the expression up. For instnace, if you wanted to add outlier characters such as getting rid of the above ONLY IF surronded by A and Z... My method would be: A[_12]+Z His method would be: A(_|1|2)+Z It's all a matter of personal taste I suppose. ......................
