[Probably only the second or third thing % > ever found that isn't, too ;-] % % The problem is that alternates is a regex, not a patern, so "!" doesn't Yep. % make any sense to it. What you need is a negation character within the % regex itself. Unfortunately, I can't think of one. The closest thing I % can think of right now is the single character negation: % ^[^abc].*@domain.com % matches stuff that does NOT start with a or b or c: % astuff@xxxxxxxxxx % bstuff@xxxxxxxxxx % cstuff@xxxxxxxxxx % etc... Well, extended regexps will let you search for this.and.(that|theother) and I'd love to see something equivalent for negation. % % I don't think alternation would work with this. If anyone knows of a % negation character for groups, that would do the trick. Otherwise you % will need to do some messy [^] combinations to do it. No, it would be *very* messy :-/ % % -- % David Rock % david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * society and not sufficient moral courage.
