Many thanks!
Can you point me to some book or doc or man that says things in fairly
plain english as you did??? I'm finding a lot of docs on regexps that
are hard to translate when you are just starting out like me. They
don't seem to say things like:
> The "." means "any character", so ".*" means "any string of characters".
Also, question: I understand the leading .* based on your remark, but
what about the trailing .* ?? The TO address should always end with t
the ".com" - is there a need for it, or were you just being ultra
cautious to get everything possible?
THANKS AGAIN!
Bruce.
