I'm not clear on what you're trying to match for. Is it: Exactly one digit, followed by exactly any two characters, followed by zero or more digits?

If I use the regular expression: /^(?:\d+\w+\d*,?){4}$/ to match the above sequence, it matches the string '10,10,10,10' or any sequence of 4 2-digit numbers separated by commas, but not one-digit numbers... The only thing I can think of is that the \w is matching the commas somehow, but that doesn't make any sense... I've been staring at this for too long, and it works the way I want it to if I use: /^(?:\d+\w{2}\d*,?)$/ instead, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong in the other regex... Anyone have any ideas? -dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
