Oops, trailing v was not supposed to be there, but otherwise you were correct in what i was trying to do. There is no particular reason for displaying Pe inside the |...| I wanted to know if it was possible, and if it is why not to do it. Also I was able to match part of the error message.

Thanks for the help.
