You are exactly right. It does have something to do with new line (carriage returns) but it doesn't act as you would think. You would expect it to delete any comment field with a line (chars between carriage returns) less than 200 chars. It does not. I tried a comment field with six lines of 30 chars each and it did not delete them. But put them together into one 180 char line and it does delete it. I don't understand all this but I don't think I can do what I want unless there is a way to add the number of chars in a line together with all the other lines number of chars in the comment field. Is this possible? Or is there another way or is this just too silly for you to continue with? lol. frank PS: BTW I really enjoyed learning a bit about regular expressions - something I didn't even know existed being a computer engineer from the 60's.
