thanks mouss ummmm the reason i made the subject, "country in africa" was that i didnt want to use the exact word
i can see my mistake it that now. as always, i sincerely appreciate the vast programming and SA application wisdom & knowledge on this list. thank you all for you help. and again, this is like probably the only word that in small quantities regularly slips through untouched. may i ask, in writing this non standard rule for a single word, and you wanted to capture the most possibilities of that single word coming through so that you could flag it with very small score / hit how should that be written? something like this two word one? body LOCAL_JASONHART /\bJason Hart\b/ score LOCAL_JASONHART 10.1 - rh
