So for my example it would look like :
([a-z]+)(?:\\[([0-9]+)\\])?
correct ? In this respect the match of the brackets AND number
wouldn't be stored, but the number match would be, correct ??
Well I guess I could try it out in perl, but this is the stk mailing

It's a good idea to use something that's already out there, thanks for
