Hrmmm ... it seems to work for me - I'm not entirely sure that I know what in context you are trying to use it ... Try this ... `$var = "Sun Apr 1 10:27:03 CDT"; if ($var =~ /(\w{3}\s+\w{3}\s+\d+)/) { print $1."\n"; };` [download] This worked fine for me in my testing - Note the additional brackets around the regex to allow the result to be pulled from $1. If you are still having problems, post again with a bit more context as to where you are using this regex and someone with more experience than myself may be able to help further.	[reply] [d/l]
