(?<!(es|us|le))sex will handle essex, sussex, wessex and middlesex. Unfortunately it has to be a fixed length look behind, so the word boundary and the full match have to go. The place where this originally occured was in a URL. In looking for words, then there is already a word boundary in front of sex. I don't know what sort of thing you really find in porn URLs. This works for 5.6.0 and also 5.005_03 Geoff UK-Human Genome Mapping Project-Resource Centre, Hinxton, Cambridge, CB10 1SB, UK Tel: +44 1223 494530 Fax: +44 1223 494512 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
