What is regex?

I'm running VFP 6

Conditional logic will go a long way for me.

Say a particular web site yields memlines=4 and I test that
mline(_cliptext,3) contains the word "Phone:" its a good bet that
_cliptext came from this particular web site and that would determine
the contents of Mline(_cliptext,1....2...4) etc.

I think I can get it to work, I'm just struggling with the best
approach.
