Escape the star eg. "THIS TEXT HAS A \* IN IT"; Baskslash will escape special chars in a regex! If your regex string is not going to be interpolated twice. Otherwise it's definately best to ignore this monk's advice and skip to the next answer:) UpdateGrrr. It worked fine in my test program ..mutter mutter mutter...:(
Shame I felt so silly that I (had to) tested it, that I chose not to post the horribly complicated test prog. <cockney>Say la vee </cockney>:) And yes, I 'wasted' a vote and ++ Mr. AM. That guy amazes me, one time s/he asks the most trivial of questions, other times s/he responds with such knowledgable answers. Sometimes for several sometimes on the same day. It's almost like s/he has a split personality??
