The "\A" locks the pattern to the beginning of the text you are searching, so "\A:?" matches zero or one colon at the beginning if the text. If you then search for ":-\*" further down the pattern, it will be looking for a second colon (because \A:? matches the first) followed by a dash and an asterisk. -- Robin Using The Bat! v2.12.00 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
