Need a quick bit of help from those more knowledgable of these things then I. I've got a javascript array of smilies which are going to be read into a regular expression to work around case sensitivity. Trouble is I don't have a clue how to go about doing so! Here's the array, if anyone can help:
("[:)]","[}:)]","[:~]","[:x]","[8D]","[@p]","[:I]","[}D]","[:D]","[&O]","[:{}]","[x:(]","[:p]","[:(]","[:O]","[:|]","[;)]","[8b]","[>p]","[[)]")
From what little experience I do have with regular expressions, would I be right in saying there's a couple of reserved characters in there which need to be escaped?

Oh, and while I'm at it, if anyone has a link to an idiot's guide to RegExs (in VBScript & Javascript), it would be of great help to me. Cheers

<edit> Oop, forgot to stop those smilies from being replced by this forum! </edit>

Nice link that, that the first one - finally managed to escape the reserved characters after screaming at it for a few minutes when it wouldn't work ... then I remembered I was using javascript and had to use double back slashes! Now, onto removing case sensitivity.

Thanks again, Podge

I think I've just fallen in love with regular expressions Going to spend some time this weekend getting to grips with them properly. Would I be correct in my assumption that regexs are more efficient than VBScript replaces?
