Re: Re: Regex Question

That is exactly what I wanted. Thanks Not sure I understand why it works though. why does -> [^\n] - match all the data after the DATE and ZONE to the end of line doesn't it just mean match a beginning of line and a new line?

Hi, glad that i could help you. The `[^\n]` is a negated character class. Here it represents all characters which aren't "newlines". The newline-characters remained, though undefined `$/`, still in your string. The regex `[^\n]+\n` matches on 1-n non-newlines followed by a newline. After this there can be 0-n whitespaces `\s*` followed by another newline. This is your blank-line. greetings, tos	[reply] [d/l] [select]
