So $nick ~= /regex/here Will mean: search for 'regex' in value of '$nick' with options 'h','e','r' and 'e' (again?!) ... 'here' as options does not make sense, but searching for regex don't do the same, so replace 'here' with 'gismx' and you have a valid perl statement (which still does not make any sense, in fact *G*) :-) Sorry ... could not resist too :-) -- Regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (The Bat! v1.54 Beta/29 on Windows NT 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 1) I could prove God statistically. - GEORGE GALLUP -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
