*keyboardbiting* I see... thanks to all of you who helped so fast.

Murray: I could kick myself for not seeing that one (* = 0 or more,
well it sure found 0)

Jake was fast ;-) and he is on the right track too
(although I don't think that the substrings he guessed are
the exact ones that are found).
you might want to check preg_match_all to see the matches
that PCRE comes up with for each regexp...
also take a look at:
$test = "7005-N/52";
var_dump(
When using "/([0-9]*)(.*)/i" it matches
substring 1: 7005
substring 2: -N/52
When using "/([0-9]*)\/(.*)/i" it matches
substring 1:
substring 2: 52
It looks to me as though its trying to match either or subgroup in order.
