Writing '{1}' serves no purpose. It means "exactly one of the preceding thing", but the thing by itself already matches exactly once if there's no quantifier. So you can write it this way: /[>\s]\w<[-\w\s\$&!]{0,150}>\w\W/ I must admit I'm puzzled about why Larry wants to limit the pattern to having only one letter on each side of the angle- bracketed stuff. -- Keith C.
