Hey All, thanks for the replies!

Ahh ha, I thought it had to be something simple that I was missing... Thanks!

gpapkala/choroba,
Thanks guys I thought there was something I was missing there. I did not know that the //g modified affected
the start position when searching. I alwasy just thought that it allowed you to match the pattern any number of times in a file.
I thought that without the //g the pattern would stop after finding the 1st occurence, but it occurs to me now that I'm searching
one line at a time and not over the entire file at once, Duhh... Thanks!


roboticus,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry, guess I didn't mention that ALL the patterns in the regex are Paths/Directories within the
Domain's URLs I'm searching over, so it's not necessarily searching for the file extension, but the Path itself of:
      --> "http://www.fakesite/jpg/blah-blah-blah"
But I see your point...


AA,
Oh cool, have not used that use statement before, I'll give it a shot, and thanks for the explanations!


Thanks Again guys for all the replies, very much appreciated!

Thanks Again,
Matt
