klaaamp K	$regex(by, it should only match that or if its $regex(apple, etc, $regex(apple.anythingelse, or $regex(jkjfsapple, shouldnt be matched.

klaaamp K	Originally Posted By: b1ink Ok then. Use star_bucks's pattern. His pattern have same problem as yours but both ways, add a dot or a dot after "by", like $regex(by., or $regex(.by, and it will also match and I dont want that.. Last edited by klaaamp; 28/12/06 10:41 PM.
