Not done any PCB design so can't be a lot of help but found this[^] that may be of some help!
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.1 new web site.
I know the voices in my head are not real but damn they come up with some good ideas!

Thanks I think that was the page I used before.

Sorry Glenn, I can't help - I leave that kind of stuff to my hardware guy who tends to use it for "expensive boards" which isn't a lot of help! 
I know it makes his life a load easier when he can use separate ground and power planes, particularly on high speed circuits when you want track lengths to be as close to the same as possible.

Well Okay, umm darn

Yesterday on our local Robotics group list, someone posted a link to a free e-book on high speed circuit design. http://www.thehighspeeddesignbook.com/[^]
Hope that helps, and good luck with the job.

Or do my work for me.
Only joking, I have just been presented with a very small issue, just wondering if those of you who like this sort of thing might be able to come up with an elegant solution, just for fun.
I have a field that has a text string in it.
The text string will probably contain an error code, but might not.
The error code, so far as I can tell, will be 2 letters followed by 6 numbers or 3 letters followed by 5 numbers.
The error code, so far as I can tell, will be at the start or the end of the text string.
I need to extract the error code (should it exist) into a new field and the rest of the string into another.
Typing the question has, I believe, shown me the way to proceed.
Bonus credit; I have to do it in xsl.
I shall do it as soon as Eclipse starts working again.
Examples:
<m:StatusMessage xsi:type="xsd:string">Duplicate ContactReference supplied</m:StatusMessage>
<m:StatusMessage xsi:type="xsd:string">ss000073 Invalid value entered in PropertyRef tag</m:StatusMessage>
<m:StatusMessage xsi:type="xsd:string">Exchange Final reading cannot be less than the previous reading - xml00159</m:StatusMessage>
ps, don't you love it when companies apply no standards whatsoever to their work.
pps, if I'm honest I just wanted to complain about the lack of standards
ppps, I think it is due to developers who assume everything they create will be read by a human rather than by a computer

It's not particularly tricky, I just don't trust them not to stick a code in the middle of the message or some such nonsense.
It's a pita having to code for all things people could do, no matter how stupid.

Regex has "^" which is "start of string" to cope with that kind of rubbish!

and '$' for "end of string"

EXSLT - Regular Expressions covers extension elements and functions that provide facilities to do with regular expressions.
For ease of implementation, the regular expressions used in this module currently use the Javascript regular expression syntax.
XSLT processors may support any number of the extension elements and functions given in this module.
Using EXSLT will only make your stylesheet portable amongst the implementations that support EXSLT. Note that there is no requirement for XSLT processors that are compliant to XSLT to support the extensions described within EXSLT.

No wonder then... (now I'll be nuked by SK. It was fun being part of the community, goodbye ).

My car insurance company silently changed password policies (or implementation) during the year, so that special characters would not be allowed. Of coure I am a diligent enigneer so ALL OF MY PASSWORDS have special characters. I could not log in, so I clicked the password recovery feature (I honestly thought I might have forgotten) aaand... they sent me an e-mail with my current password in clear text. No temporary password to log in and change. Nothing... and of course that password wouldn't work. I needed 3 days of phonecalls to non-existant customer service numbers - I had to use whois informations to get to the legal registered office and phone them. Then I needed to explain several times that I ALREADY CLICKED ON THAT FUMIGATING BUTTON.
Solution: after threatening them with lawsuit and publicity of all the endeavour on the national papers they destroyed my current account allowing me to open another one tied to my insurance number with a new password and applied all the feasible discounts on my renewal.

All's well that ends well!

If it's any consolation, my car insurer got my e-mail address wrong so I phoned to change it.
