Nice advice! :) what does *?:* actually imply? Where do I find this information?
If you want to allow that MIB can appear anywhere else other that immmediately after GUIDE_ you can change the regex for : (.*)GUIDE_(?!MIB)((?!P4).)*$ This pattern confuses me a bit... Ooooohh.... now I get it. Dumb little me XD That explains another issue I have. *geesh* I start to become dizzy of RegEx Thanks for helping out. I will do some tests right away Cheers Jan Am Freitag, 19.
