@NogDogNov 30.2006 — It's looking for carriage return ("r") and/or linefeed ("n") characters in either of the two variables.

@so_is_thisNov 30.2006 — It performs a Regular Expression match using the first argument as a pattern against the second argument string. If a match is found, a 1 is returned -- which is interpreted by the [B]if[/B] statement as a true result. If no match is found, a 0 is returned -- which is interpreted by the [B]if[/B] statment as a false result.
