Use /+ instead of /. Besides if the URL really is like http://www.xxx.xxx.xx/anotherlevel////// then this will still match your regular expression because you don't tell the expression that it ends expliticly after that ($). By the way... please escape the dots like: ^http://www\.xxx\.xxx\.xx/+another_level/ Christoph -- Never trust a system administrator who wears a tie and suit.
