Captn John, What the difference? I recognise the code from my attempts at Perl. What's the diff between ^ and *? Is there a doc I can read up more on? ;) Swabbie John

What about
eregi("TI(.*)¶",$line,$m)
might want to use
eregi("TI([^¶]*)¶",$line,$m)
The first one says "eat TI then any number of characters until you get to the last ¶ in the target string, then eat that one too and stop there". The second one says "eat TI and then any number of characters that isn't a ¶, then when you finally get to one, eat it too but stop there".
As for your doc, the definitive guide is <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/regex2>. No, it's not a free web page somewhere, but it /will/ make you a master of regexes, something you can carry across all languages (except Perl6 :). I count it as possibly the most useful book I've ever read.
