Robert,
Thank you for responding.
The extra slashes are to properly escape the backslash character since you are using double quotes.... As I said you may want the following pattern in cases where no space exists:As you might have seen in a response of mine to another of your postings, all this advice has come together, and my script now accomplishes what I had hoped it would. Thank you and the PHP list in general for the continued great support. -- Dave M G'#^([^\s]*)\s?(.*)$#' Thank you for your detailed explanation. Especially with regards to the impact of double quotes versus single quotes in an expression. I see now that I most likely will find it simpler to use single quotes and avoid having to escape characters excessively.
