Thanks very much! It worked.

It looks like with single quotes I passing the regex as is, with no variable interpolation.

> It looks like with single quotes I passing the regex as is not exactly. your passing the variable's symbol. Seems like that module does an eval on the string you pass. So passing in singelquotes means that `eval '/$username/'` fails because $username is unknown in the module's namespace. Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l]
