OK thanks for the clarification. I just want to stop the word "cum" in any case (upper, lower or mixed) from been in the subject. But I don't want to block words with "cum" in them like "document". So here's what I did. (?i).* cum .* To catch "please cum here" (?i)cum To simply catch "cum" as the only word in the subject (?i)cum .* To catch "cum here" (?i).* cum To catch "Please cum" So it looks like it's going to take at least 4 lines for each word I want to block. Unless you see an easier way of putting those 4 lines into one reg expression.
