The problem is strictly the end of line termination character. If I leaves off the \r\n it will match all of the line except the \r\n at the end of the line. The $ acts as if there isn't a \r\n in the regular expression, and thus matches the entire line except the \r\n at the end of the line as well. I was hoping that the author, Mathew Inger would look into this, but I'm going to try to debug it myself. It'll be a great learning experience since I never debugged an application this large before.

First, instead of \r\n use $, this will match the end of line no matter what platform. Second, I'm guessing the other two backslashes in the expression need to be escaped out. So, try this one: match="^.*\\.(gif|jpg|js|ram)\\^.*$" s > -----Original Message----- > From: Lou Fox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 11:23 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Problems with ReplaceRegex > > > I've been trying to get this replaceregex to work for several > days now without any progress.
