Easy, just run it through something that gives more detailed errors: test.rb:2: invalid regular expression; there's no previous pattern, to which '*' would define cardinality at 2: /(*)(ACK|ROTFL|LOL|SCNR|BRB |BTW|C|CWYL|FWIW|g|G|bg|vbg|GIWIST|G,D&R|HHOK|HTH|HTHBE|IMHO|IMNSHO| IOW|IRL|ITRW|OTP|OTF|OIC|OTOH|POV|RL|RTFM|ROTFL|TTFN|TTYL|U|WAEF|Y|T IMTOWTDI)(*)/ In other words, (*) is meaningless, since the * doesn't have anything to attach to (did you mean .* ?) -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.aagh.net/ - If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all. -- Oscar Wilde
