My thanks, Alan and Colin. My own efforts looked much like Colin's examples. I still feel that they are the more concise/elegant way to go. There must be some syntactical error I am missing (from the viewpoint of Agent's handling of regexp's). That calls for another session of RTFM. :) As it happens, neither of Colin's examples worked. (And, I don't see why not.) Alan's, OTOH, did work, and is in my kill filter. I suppose that this proves the old 'whack it back 'til it works' theorem---or, simplify, simplify, simplify. -- gt It is interesting to note that as one evil empire (generic) fell, another Evil Empire (tm) began its nefarious rise. -- me Coincidence?
