Re: Questions concerning pqact

Paul,

Steve's regular expression, as he gave in his previous email, does ask that the *first* character be a K but your original regex only showed (K...). Steve's REGEX will work if you are asking for patterns *beginning* with 'K' and followed by three letters or numbers, with the exception of (^KWAL). Maybe this assumption is okay, but just wanted to double-check.

Paul,

The following extended regular expression will match any 4 characters but "KWAL":

    ([^K]...|K[^W]..|KW[^A].|KWA[^L])
