Slightly more compact would be to use character classes: 217\.78\.(6[4-9]|7[0-9])\.[0-9]+ Both this and the above depend on what tool you're using. These are Perl regexps or extended regexps (not the same thing, but compatible in this case); if you're in something that uses basic regexps instead (e.g. grep, by default), then you want: 217\.78\.\(6[4-9]\|7[0-9]\)\.[0-9]\+ -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
