Fantastic response !<br />
<br />
Thanks for the tip Dan - I will take that aboard - although I think RegEx seems so simple if I only took the time to understand it (the very odd occasion I need it)<br />
<br />
Ray - Noted, and appreciate your reply, but will use the simple version from Dan for now - if it breaks, it breaks.<br />
I will keep this A in case and reference it in the Wordpress Plugin I am developing for this.

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
