The code was not working as it was matching patterns with "lds" in them as well	[reply]

it was matching because you used .* as a greedy match, which swallowed up any string including "lds", then (correctly) matched following characters as not containing "lds" etc. try changing the greedy .* to the non-greedy version .*? the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H	[reply]
