I'm curiuos what you're talking about. The manual says nothing about this in the PCRE section: Example 1. Examples of valid patterns * <\/\w+>/ * |(\d{3})-\d+|Sm http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php The Pattern Syntax page has a backslashes section which states: In particular, if you want to match a backslash, you write "\\". Then, all of my patterns work just fine w/o escaping the backslashes. So, uh, what are you talking about? :) --Dan -- PHP classes that make web design easier SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution sqlsolution.info | layoutsolution.info | formsolution.info T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Av #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
