I would use explicit captures, eg: (?<brown>brown)\s+(?<fox>fox) Match m = Regex.Match(); return m.Groups["brown"].Success && !m.Groups["fox"].Success; or even easier: return !Match("brown\s+fox"); xacc-ide 0.0.99-preview5 now with C#, C, IL, XML, Nemerle, IronPython and Boo highlighting support!

thanks rude person......I knew what it was. I needed a viewer for it that was free. But never mind I found one.....no thanks to your smart a** response Brian Van Beek Here's my boring blog! [^]

Well, here's the problem, I can't just look for a number after it, because West Duff Avenue should become W Duff Ave. Here is what I have so far... ((\b[Nn][Oo][Rr][Tt][Hh])\b)|(\b[Nn]\b\.?) It's just a really simple regex to find the match, then I replace it with the appropriate abbreviation. This is all done during a sort of batched job. Now, I just need to be able to "not match" if the next word is avenue. But I want to do it all in one regex. Is this possible?

I know...it's a joke.

i assume you're talking about the keypress of a textbox, so in your keypress event handler... if (e.keycode = keys.back) then 'keys.back indicates the backspace key 'perform something here... end if hope this helps. -jim
