Hmm, actually no, that confirms what I said, look ahead is (?=character) What that does is, match but not consume. So my regex returns me three sub expressions, one containing dd, one mm and one yyyy I just want to allow for either the / or - as the delimiter for the date, i.e. 5/12/73 or 5-12-73 (?=/|-) doesn't seem to do it for me. PS. Do you guys miss me at Straker?
