Your answer is more like what rovf says he wants (`FOO ... things things ... must not be BA[RZ] ... end`) but differ from the regexen he presented initially: `/^FOO(.*)$/ and $1 !~ /^BA[RZ]$/` mean (`FOO ... things things ... end AND "things things" must not be BA[RZ]`). The difference is that your answer does not FOOMABAR, and his expression does match it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
