Hi Rob, You're quite right there... I guess I've climbed so far up the regex mountain that I've lost sight of the php basics on the ground! One thing from your example that you might consider is using !== rather than != otherwise you might end up with \n\n at the beginning of your string when strpos returns 0 rather than false.
