I get plenty of questions that I ask here ignored, but I don't fret - I read some more, figure a way of asking the question differently and try again. In this particular case, I read the manual thoroughly - but got confused because I was asking a "not" match question. So I googled around to try and find the answer, but no luck. I then came here to ask the question - and I tried to ask it in such a way that it would be an interesting puzzle for someone who thought they really understood regex's. (should that be regex\'s :-)) -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
