I learned (from some private email) that it is a '.', not a '*', that matches everything. Then I added the '*' to quantify the match meaning 0 or more previous characters. So my final expression looked like this: /^web.*\.some\.domain$/ Thanks for your help, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
