Jeffry Friedl (Fried or Freed?) (when to Master Regular Expressions you need), wrote the book - he wasn't idle. Damm! Now it *has* to be Fried-l. (On the other hand, if it *was* J Freed-l, I could have used a rhyme like 'needle'. If you're sew sharp that you cotton on, Eye think the point of this thread'll be gone.)
