The regexp as sent (delimited with "/") was just a match, not a search/replace. I don't know the code; what exactly are you trying to do here? Strip out date/email lines? -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
