What I need to capture is if one of the following three literal groups is in a string 1. () 2. [] 3. " Strangest thing, though. With this pattern (\(\))(\[\])" I matches the entire string ()[]" and puts it into 3 groups I can reference (), [], and ". I just can't figure out how to, basically, convert that from an AND to an OR pattern. Putting square brackets around the entire pattern simply negates the grouping and it starts matching single characters again. Dang meta-characters... ----------------------------------- Steve Brownlee http://www.fusioncube.net/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:261508 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
