Hi, I discovered (the hard way after hours of code troubleshooting) that ereg/eregi/etc. functions have a very useful but LIMITED length function. It seems that while the ereg functions will search for matches in (any?) length code, the length limiter {0, 255} is limited to 255. I was trying to match lengths of 350 and 800. but couldn't figure out why I was getting an error. There's no documentation on this anywhere that I could find. Please add it to all applicable regular expression match items that it applies to. Thanks! -- CJ Greiner info@SmithfieldEntertainment.com http://www.SmithfieldEntertainment.com 757-356-1166
