Questions concerning pqact

[Donna Cote]

Paul,

Steve's regular expression, as he gave in his previous email, does ask 
that the *first* character be a K but your original regex only showed 
(K...). Steve's REGEX will work if you are asking for patterns 
*beginning* with 'K' and followed by three letters or numbers, with the 
exception of (^KWAL). Maybe this assumption is okay, but just wanted to 
double-check.
