Another Weird Thing??

[Marielle Lange]

Dave,

Check out the regular expression syntax.

| The vertical bar allows you to match one of two possible characters  
or subexpressions. It serves as a logical "or".
           Ex:  (rat|mouse)  matches rat or mouse rat mouse matches  
ratouse or ramouse (Get it?)

Best,
Marielle
