I didn't know I could also place extra >characters inside the brackets to specify what I want. :) --------------------[snip]-------------------- The square brackets simply form a group of characters that are either allowed ('[abc]') or not allowed ('[^abc]'). Instead of specifying '/[a-zA-Z]/' you have also the option of saying '/[a-z]/i', the i modifier making the whole regex case independent. For deeper regex insights (esp. for the preg_xxx functions which I personally prefer) I suggest visiting the Perl docs at Doc: http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlre.html QuickIntro: http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlrequick.html Tutorial: http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlretut.html For the PHP guyz'n gals listening - I suggest these links making it into the PHP docs :) -- >O Ernest E.
