Re^2: matching numeric range

I'm liking this. One question on this. Is there a simple way (one line regex substitution for example) to get from B10-15 to B1[0-5], or B120-125 to B12[0-5]? Actually, as I think about it, I may need to apply some logic to handle B18-24. Can you think of a good way to handle this one?

Hi the B10-15 example is easy: `B1[0-5]` (character class), as is B120-125 (`B12[0-5]`). As you say, logic spanning B18-24 is more difficult; that's why I broke it into 2 regexs in my post above. It was easier to match `B1[8-9]` or `B2[0-4]` than to try some regex-fu. You may be more adept with regexes than I am. - j update: escape out `[ ]` so they're visible.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
