Upon a little closer look at the documentation for -multiline, it says the the return is \r\n, will this make a difference to my chomp? Should I be removing \r\n and searching for both chars?

Use the _Change event: Grab the text whenever the user changes it Test the text against =~s/\n//g; Return if this test fails Restore the text Do your search I used to simply check that the text string ended with a \n and then chomp it and restore the text. But if a user wants to redo the same search, he might just click anywhere in the textfield and hit enter, so your \n could be anywhere in the text string. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
