>>I've always been under the impression that to match a meta-character, you have to escape it.
In general, yes. But under some circumstances, like in a range of characters, some special characters are not special anymore, so they don't need to ne escaped. However, escaping them anyway will work as well. There are so many things to remenber about Regex, that the rule "always escape special chars" is simpler to remember. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
