How about... \[UK NARIC:(.*?)\]
... just guessing mind, I love these RegEx questions :OD Ade -----Original Message----- From: Mark Woods [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 August 2004 12:38 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ cf-dev ] RegEx madness, do I need glasses? string like " [Yrs:4] [UK NARIC:British Bachelor degree std ] " I want to get "British Bachelor degree std" I have... REFind("\[UK[[:space:]]+NARIC\:([^\]]+)[[:space:]]*]",qExisting.notes,1,true ) which doesn't match correctly Now, I don't see anything wrong with that, so while testing, I changed the source string to... " <Yrs:4> <UK NARIC:British Bachelor degree std > " and the RegEx to... "\<UK[[:space:]]+NARIC\:([^\>]+)[[:space:]]*>" and it works dandy So, WTF is wrong with this sub-expression: ([^\]]+) when this one works just fine: ([^\>]+) Am I seeing a CF regex bug or is my vision just blurred?? Help!
