G'day sowais, That's exactly the same question, title and text, that you posted yesterday: "Issue with regex matching". Furthermore, you appear to have updated yesterday's post with: "Thank you all for your input! I have my code working using quotemeta." Clearly, there's something wrong here; although, I don't know if you've pasted the wrong question from wherever you do your editing, somehow reposted in error, or something else. "How do I change/delete my post?" should be able to help you decide how to fix this. -- Ken	[reply]
