This provides a useful head start into regular expressions: http://www.matthewgifford.com/a-tao-of-regular-expressions/ If you are going to go deep into regex, with or without perl, pick up "Mastering Regular Expressions", by Jeffrey Fried. http://regex.info/ Regular Expressions have been useful for soooooo many things, once I understood them. The better I understand them, the more useful they become. Mr. Fried's book, in it's first revision at least, was very easy to read. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
