Except there is nothing stopping the variables being reordered, no? So you may need to match a leading ? instead of &. You could get crazy and try to do this in a single regex but two stage is clearer. e.g. sed -e 's/&pg=[^&]*//g' -e 's/?pg=[^&]*&/?/' cheers Marty -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
