Hi Brian and List > > http://ideone.com/kk0OI > I was studying the references about regular expression you pointed me to on the link above and I just wanted make sure I understand properly. You used the \Q just in case there is a metacharacter in one of the names that gets stored in $_? Could that affect my search? Let's for example that on the name that goes to $_ at one point I have something like [a-z] would the regular expression there (/$_/) read that as a range of a to z if i didn't use the \Q.
Thanks! T.
