Firstly it would have to be ... {8,14}, otherwise shorter ones would not be picked up. But there is a potential problem with [a-z0-9] because it would pick out many normal English words, for example, ironically, 'programmes' and 'programming'. I think you'd need the second character to be a digit, so ... [bpw][0-9][a-z0-9]{7,13} ... would probably do the job. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
