Hi Terrence I'm not sure If I asked the question right. I'm not looking to do a search and replace. I'm hoping to set a variable in the CSS, such as This is the color of all selected links in the navigation. Then, the css would just set that variable. All of the various rules would refer to the variable instead of the actual hexdec number.
How would the regular expression do that?

Wouldn't it be lovely if I just had > {selectedlink} : #ffcfcf ? There's no point using a slegehammer to drive in a tack. I usually just use a regex: s/#f60/#ffcfcf/g Any decent editor should handle that in one form or the other. kind regards Terrence Wood. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
