Re[2]: need help with RegExp

Hi Konrad,

Monday, July 11, 2005, 3:06:18 PM, you wrote:

Konrad has kindly suggested the expression above but no joy. I'm not
too sure about the (?s) he put in front so I tried this one as well
but it also didn't work.

https?://[^\>>]*\.(scr|exe|pif)

There is a link to a RegExp testing page that might give a clue to
what's going on. http://www.quanetic.com/regex.php
If I test using the "preg (Perl)" option I get no match. But using the
"ereg (POSIX)" gives a match! So I'm assuming TB! uses "preg (Perl)"
syntax (whatever that is). Can someone explain the difference between
the two?
