Also, how are the fields such as \n, \a etc used. I can't figure it out cheers - Just because it never happened doesn't mean it isn't true.

Code: $regsubex(AbAcAdAe,/A/g,$iif(\n == 1 \|\| \n == 3,B,A)) Help file is pretty self-explanatory. \n = match number, \t = match text, \a = all match items, and \A which is a non-spaced version of \a.

I certainly didn't, which sort of kind of explains why I asked the question. Thanks again. - Just because it never happened doesn't mean it isn't true.

Among other things it features two regex tutorials, a little "library" of regular expressions, and a PCRE reference extract.
