The (either_this|or_that) matches either what you originally said or nothing ("or_that" here is empty).

Marvelous, I know the logic of these regex things is very rigorous, sothe 'not digit BUT still something' construction must be handled and ofcourse there will be a way of saying 'not digit but maybe nothing' too. Thanks Peter. I tried to get the '|' working myself but didn't get itquite right.
