No. Your "[y|yes]" is equivalent to "[|esy]" and matches a single character. I guess you meant /^(?:y|yes)$/ which can also be written as /^y(?:es)?$/ or, if you don't mind the capturing, as /^y(es)?$/ -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
