hi lennart,
what do you mean, you have some sourcecode where this regex occurs,
and you want to find the matching lines? then you'd have to use sth
like this:

        \^(\?:M|C)

if you want to match lines that begin with M or C, then it'd have to
be:

        ^\(?:M\|C\)

HTH, regards,

Yes, thanks, that helped. I will try to remember now that it is just a single \ for escaping when prompted for a pattern...
