Your expression works fine Richard, as does '(^| )ho', but can you tell

With ^ you means an anchor, but within the brackets it's a simple char.
Err no, it inverts the test. [^ ] means any character *except* a space.
But only if it's the first character within the brackets.
Which is the opposite of how "-" behaves inside square-brackets of course.
Aren't regexps fun :-)
