Hi.
I'm not a power user of RegExp but i think that the '*' is not applied
to the entire word 'netscape' but only to the last 'e'.
The forward slash is not a special character.
If you need to find the version then you must group the version/release
and get it with getParens(i):
"netscape(?)/([0-9]\.[0-9]{1-2})" -> if the release is at most 2 chars
and version only one.Hope this helps a little.

I'm somewhat of a regexp newbie, so apologies if this question is painfully easy. I created an RE object using code RE nsRegExp = new RE("(netscape*)/"); but when I do boolean matched = nsRegExp.match("mozilla/5.0 (windows; u; windows nt 5.0; en-us; rv:0.9.2) gecko/20010726 netscape6/6.1"); matched is coming back false. Is forward slash some kind of special character? I don't see anything in the docs. FYI--I'm trying to determine a user's browser version and release level on server side. For Netscape 6 and up, I get the following useragent strings: useragent returned from NS 6.1 running on W2K: mozilla/5.0 (windows; u; windows nt 5.0; en-us; rv:0.9.2) gecko/20010726 netscape6/6.1 useragent returned from NS 6.2 running on Win98: mozilla/5.0 (windows; u; win98; en-us; rv:0.9.4) gecko/20011019 netscape6/6.2 useragent string returned from NS 7.01 running on W2K mozilla/5.0 (windows; u; windows nt 5.0; en-us; rv:1.0.2) gecko/20021120 netscape/7.01 Using jakarta-regexp-1.2.
