Thanks Rene, but you seem to have missed the point. NOTHING is working. No matter what I put there, it doesn't seem to get matched.

Just to be sure, I tested your regex and again it didn't work.

Someone on the SO site stated they could get it to work on FreeBSD and I'm on Windows, so this might be a platform thing. Can anyone else on Windows please confirm?

Thanks,
