No, the ? is intended, I want to match either /foo or /foo/, so ^/foo/?$ is the correct regex, I'm sure about that. The problem I have is with the & being systematically understood by the right size of regexes to mean "the whole thing matched by the matching left regex". While this is a common regex idiom in "basic" regexes (sed acts this way for instance), it is not expected at all from pcre (Perl doesn't know about &, and from what I've read about pcre so far, pcre doesn't know about it either). Hence my puzzle. -- Francis Galiegue ONE2TEAM Ingénieur système Mob : +33 (0) 683 877 875 Tel : +33 (0) 178 945 552 f...@one2team.com 40 avenue Raymond Poincaré 75116 Paris --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
