Regular expressions in filters seem to ignore case by default, for me anyway. IAE, you can explicitly set case sensitivity for regular expressions. Use "(?i)" to force a case insensitive match, "(?-i)" to match case. For example: (?i)ball matches "ball", "BALL" or "BalL". (?-i)BALL only matches on "BALL" (or "BALLET", "BALLISTIC", etc.). To restrict the match to a word, you could use: (?-i)\bBALL\b MLW> Is the best way to use "match on any" and have all my words in regular MLW> expressions like [Bb][Aa][Ll][Ll]? You could use "match on any" with each expression on its own line: (?i)sig (?-i)TOO (?i)long or, if you want all matches to be case insensitive, you could match on a single expression: (?i)sig|too|long I don't know if one is more efficient than the other. The first is probably easier to read/edit. Standard text matching might be case insensitive as well; play with it. The nice thing about regular expressions is that for a bit of added complexity you can be as precise as you need. -- George Using The Rat! 3.0.1.33 on Windows XP Pro 5.1, Build 2600, Service Pack 2. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.1 Beta/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
