MCP Problems - URGENT

[Jeramy Eling]

Ok thanks for that. I have multiple rules that include things like ? etc. should they be preceded with the '\' as well?

I hate to keep going over this but I just want to be 100% sure in my own mind that what we have is working correctly all the time.

Thanks All

Jez.

Try the same thing precede with \.

You may want to read up on regular expressions in Perl, I highly recommend
the O'Reilly book Mastering Regular Expressions.
