John, For some reason I didn't get your post until after I sent out my other desperate plea for help. Your post gave me the following two critical REs. (?:(\d+)')? (?:(\d+)")? Which I have since modified to /(?:([\d\.\s\-\/]+)')?\s*(?:([\d\.\s\-\/]+)")?/ I creep ever closer to a solution. :-) I will be posting against the original thread from now on per the list's gentle admonition. ;-) Kind Regards, Keith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
