Hi Roland,

You have to use Regular Expressions. But don't ask me any questions about them, because I haven't messed with it yet. Maybe in another coupla weeks I might know more.

But, here's two links I've bookmarked. Maybe they'll help and maybe Cathi or someone will jump in with more to say on the subject.

and

Sorry, I can't be of more help ....
