Hey, how come few seem to have noticed... \s is a CHARACTER CLASS. This means it represents a group of characters, so asking for twenty of these on the replacement side is a little weird. Strictly speaking, you wouldn't be able to complain if it gave you 11 spaces and 9 tabs, would you? Jonathan Paton __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
