Take another look at perlre and perlretut. That says, roughly: You haven't included an "or" method anywhere; in order for a string to match your pattern, it has to contain all four complete elements. Also, why '\x3a' instead of ':'? and finally, if you're looking anywhere in the string, you don't need '.*' on both sides of the expression. You're probably looking for something like /:5101|:5051|:3191|:1026/ # or to capture the port number: /:(5101|5051|3191|1026)/ perlre has the details on '|'. HTH, ************************************************** Jay, thanks for the reply. I am aware of the bit | operator and I tried using that prior to posting this message, but was having issues then. I will try again. --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo! Music Unlimited.
