" " matches a space. [[:space:]] matches any whitespace character (including newline, etc.). [^ ] matches a space at the beginning. [ $] matches a space at the end of a string. But you don't want to match a space at the beginning or end. ereg(" :([a-z] {1}) ", $msg, $item) Then $item[1] will contain the letter you're looking for. -- Steven Werby {steven-lists@befriend.com} President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/ 804-355-WEBS
