Probably MySQL don't know about this "[.period.]" thing and just takes the "." in it as "any char", e.g. your "t" from "walt". Try '^wa[bhkl][-_acegmnopqrsuvwxyz]{1,5}[14Lt][23890IJOQ].*', if there is a "-" at the beginning of a character class it is usually threaten literally as it makes no sense as "from..to" separator in those cases. bye, -christian- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
