I take it this means if a single opens the attribute, only a single one will be looked for as the closing quote? The back reference \1 holds the value of (['"])?

Tim. PS. Above regex not actually tested, doing it OTTOMH as I'm running out of the door... ------------------------------------------------------- RAWNET LTD - Internet, New Media and ebusiness Gurus.
