I've been going in circles for a few days now.

I need to be able to assemble (with variables) a 3 word phrase. For regexp

to recognize the complete 3 word phrase the phrase needs to be enclosed in

quotation marks. This works correctly if the expression is typed into the

regexp object ....but I can't seem to find the right combination of sprintf,

tosymbol to create this. I've enclosed a sample patch below. Thanks

Thanks that does seem to format the expression correctly (and a lot more

neatly) but for some reason regexp doesn't like it either - seems to ignore

Thanks that does seem to format the expression correctly (and a lot more

Well not quite...very bizarre. Your code was good. The problem seems to be

an inconsistency here with regexp. The one on the right has the @re typed

into the object and works fine, The one on the left which is accepting a

vthe sprint variable string doesn't work with the @re ... it needs to be

I've included a working example. Thanks so much for your help on this.
