A slightly more complex problem than phone numbers ... It is a sort of convention to use the format 'JohnDoeSMITH' or 'John Doe SMITH' where each forename starts with a capital and the surname is in upper case. I have a crude method of scanning for the capitals and splitting this to give me an array of name segments with [0] as the Surname and a variable number of Forenames, but is there an 'elegant' way via regex to extract this into an array? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
