In this particular case it needs to be zero times or one time, nothing more (or less if that is possible). {0,1} works well. But I thought that this is such a common thing, at least I have been writing it a lot, that there could be a short cut for it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/RegEx/message.cfm/messageid:1115 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/RegEx/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user837.14401.21 |

RE: Sort cut for 0 or 1.Sorry, my bad. I was too quick off with the answer. It's ? to match zero or
one. Adrian -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner Sent: 23 January 2008 16:31 To: RegEx Subject: Re: Sort cut for 0 or 1.

My brain just did no go there, for some reason I just did not make the equation of 'optional' as the same as '{0,1}'. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/RegEx/message.cfm/messageid:1118 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/RegEx/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user837.14401.21 |

Re: Sort cut for 0 or 1.Possibly being pedantic, but ? is more "1 or 0" - it will match if it's
there, but not fussed if it isn't. "0 or 1" would be the lazy optional ?? which will only match if it has to, but wont if it can avoid it.
