Hi, i have a matching problem. I get input from the user as a 3-5
character long string consisting of characters from 'l' to 't', and
the chars are always sorted  for example, the user enters: 'lrqo'. It
becomes: 'loqr'. But i have to match the modified string to any of the
following: lmn, lpt, lor, mps, npr, nqt, opq, rst. i'm unable to think
of the regexp. Actually i'm trying to write a Tic Tac Toe..

Huh? I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

Do you want this?

   /^(lmn|lpt|lor|mps|npr|nqt|opq|rst)$/

Alternatively, can you say more clearly what you would like to match
and what you would like not to match?

Hope this helps!
