<snip> >> $subject:\s*(\(no[_ ]subject\))?\s*$ Ooops! It's wrong. It should be ^subject:\s*(\(no[_ ]subject\))?\s*$ The original wouldn't match anything. It says: ^ - the start of the line subject: \s* - zero or more white space characters ( - beginning of a group (this is why your original try didn't work) \( - a literal ( no [_ ] - a single underscore or space (character class) subject \) - a literal ) ) - end of the group ? - zero or one occurrences of the preceding re, in this case what's in the parentheses \s* - zero or more white space characters (doesn't match \n) $ - the end of the line -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
