Thanks very much Steve for spending the time to sensitize me to this
whole thing. After writing that reply to your initial message I
decided to type 'regexp' into a 'google' search and did come up with
quite a bit of info and as you said, it is complex. But it's indeed
interesting and I'll continue looking at it and familiarizing myself
with it. Thanks again. :)
