Hi Doug, The rules should already account for the optional ( & ) around the area codes, the (\s|-|\.) only appeared after the area code. Maybe this will have to change soon now that the rules are "in the wild" :) --example-- /\(?203\)?(\s|-|\.)(?:234(\s|-|\.)0292|286(\s|-|\.)2187)/ --example-- Hopefully they won't start writing them as (555)(555)(5555), but I guess if they do, that will also be a great spam sign! I plan on testing Sylvain's idea as well, keep the comments, questions & suggestions coming. -matt ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
