Thanks, I couldn't figure out how to invoke that, so I wasn't sure if it was applicable, but I finally found how to use the (?u) flag.

So I think I'm most of the way there ... but I could still use a little help

I should be able to replace [a-zA-Z] with (?u)[/w/D] (if I ignore _ for now), right?
[edit: of course this doesn't work -- I'm always trying to stick exclusions in a group and it's never worked yet]

But is there an easy equivalent to [a-z] ?
