> /^\[^\+]/

Shouldn't it rather be /^[^+]/ ?

I'd also test for following \w+ to avoid whitespace confusion.

`/^[^+]/` will end at the first empty line (if they really are there as shown).. anyway you are right: I must not post before coffe L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l]

> will end at the first empty line Really? Can't test at the moment but an empty line shouldn't match a character class cause it requires at least one character. Of course you could have whitespace characters, that's why I'd include `\w+` Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]
