Could you have a look at the following man page (type it at the cmdline): perldoc perlretut This is a (short) tutorial about regexes. Although this list is for beginners, I personally feel that it is advisable to have a minimal understanding about the code one writes - and your regex question is *very* basic and described in the man pages. You say that you want to be *able* to *write* this expression, so I don't think my post is impolite. If, after reading the manual and having *tried* to write the regex, you still need help, post again. (The full regex details you can find with perldoc perlre) hth, joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
