Remove them if you only care that they at least type the digit and don't care if there's extra stuff Dan -----Original Message----- From: Dylan Boudreau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 11:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: menu I am trying to make a small menu for a script and the options are 1 or 2 or 9. I have it written like this until ($selection == '1|2|9'){ do some stuff } and it wont work. I know it is something simple but I am a little simple myself today and don't know what I am doing wrong.
