Re^2: regex issue

I was excited when I saw your post, but it still doesn't work correctly. It now only matches: sort by user, sort by pid, and sort by mem, but will not match sort by cpu or sort by command. Any other suggestions?

OK, I probably do not undestand what you are trying to match. Can you show several strings that should be matched and several that should not?	[reply]

moritz got it for me thanks though. In case you still are wondering, I wanted "sort by mem", " sort by MEM", "sort by CPU ", etc. to work(no quotations obviously, was just putting them there to show that spaces are not supposed to matter). I wanted it case insensitve, space insensitive which it was, apparently the "" around sort was messing it up. I put them in because sort turned red like it was using it as the sort function which I obviously did not want so I was trying to force it to see it as a string. Apparently it does not matter because as moritz showed me, it works fine. Thanks agian	[reply]
