OK, so immediately after I sent this, I found the following in mod_include.html: Regular expressions have the same syntax as those found in the Unix egrep command. This is, as far as I can find so far, the only specific explanation of what regex syntax Apache supports. FAQ-B states that "We implement a simple subset of Perl's regex support" which is pretty darned vague. man egrep has a really good regex explanation. The only question I'm left with is how to get it to do case-insensitive pattern matching, since egrep does this with a command line switch (-i) rather than in the regex itself. -- Nothing is perfekt. Certainly not me. Success to failure. Just a matter of degrees. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
