I'm sorry you didn't get to read my next message because in there I said that you yourself had already solved my problem a few weeks ago. Then again, I'm not sorry you didn't read it in time because this way I have benefited again from your pearls of wisdom. In this message you clarified for me some conceptual problems I had and that is even more beneficial than just solving the problem at hand (how true that thing about "Don't give a man a fish. Teach him how to fish." Thanks! Just one more question. You say that \w means alphanumeric, not just alpha. Is there any expression that would mean "just alpha" and (given the appropriate LOCALE setting) would match 'a' and 'รถ' but not '9'?
