Thanks for your replies, The date guide was really good, but as it is only a String comparison, I did not want to over complicate the code. I have also tried the other two suggestions, and have still not been able to get the match to work. I think that I might have to use an escape. I have tried the CGI.escape which works quite well, and picks up the / character by converting it to a %2F, but to use this method is overkill really as it is designed for all HTML characters, so I am thinking that I just need a simple line of code to replace all instances of / with %2F
