Use the regexp pattern like:
[tt] /^\w.\w$/[/tt]

Thks a lot tsuji!

tsuji's regexp will match 1 alphanumeric character, followed by any character, followed by another 1 alphanumeric character.

A slight modification that should work correctly would be:

/^\w+\.\w+$/

-kaht

...looks like you don't have a job, so why don't you get out there and feed Tina.

 

[tsuji]

Sure, you're right, kaht. Thanks for correcting.

No problem, even the best overlook things at times.
