Regexps are NOT a be all and end all. Thanks to "Al" for this link to a good example where a combination of regexp and scripting is used to validate IPv4 dotted IP addresses.

IPv4 dotted IP address: Anything from "/^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$/" (which allows "448.90210.0.65535") to "/^([1-9]?\d|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.([1-9]?\d|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.([1-9]?\d|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.([1-9]?\d|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])$/" which is impossible for normal humans to understand.

For a report made by a system that can only output text files, I want to create squares around some text areas using PCL. 
However when I try to change the horizontal cursor position, nothing happens. A square would only show top, bottom and left lines.
I tried this using <esc>&a#H, <esc>*p#X and <esc>&a#C.
I use PCLreader software or direct to a HP2550Lj printer.
Any suggestions on what could cause this?</BLOCKQUOTE>

do you know of some way, interface device or other, to extract information such as paper size and colour or black from the data stream?&quot;
