> select whatever from articles where textlines regexp "^\Sbingo\S$"
Again, that would fail if the word 'bingo' is and the end of the sentence. Allthou i realized my own example doesnt work either in that case. Best way would be remove all characters like ,.!? and and split the string into words. But another question, do regular expressions really work in string comparisons ? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
