Corey. His regex is the same as mine, with the addition of a couple of '\b' assertions for matching word bounaries. Did you see that post? Each element of the regex must match some portion or condition in the string you are trying to match. The extended regular expression syntax like the one Shawn posted allows you to separate the elements with whitespace, making it easy to see the elements. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
