I'm sorry I wasted your time on that. I've been programming 25 years and can read code. When I thought about it a minute ago, it totally made sense.

Why does it evaluate correctly when undefined > and !="" doesn't? . is one "any character", yes. ="" is empty (equiv. to the regEx ^$). If you negate the meaning with an exclamation mark, !="", it stands for "is not empty". If '.' evaluates, there's at least one character returned for your search string. But ${REMOTE_USER} should read %{REMOTE_USER} (% instead of $). Bob
