>>philip>>The script found the two "legal" ISBN-10s in the 't'
variable.

There are four "legal" ISBN-10s in the 't' variable. Which are you
finding and which are you not finding?

There were only two legal IBSN-10s in the previous "t" variable I
posted. The other two were illegal. One had an extra "z" on the end and the other was embedded in a larger "word" that looked like a bizarre email address.

No, no, those are legal ISBNs. ISBNs do not have to be preceeded by a space or followed by a space.

Plus the original poster began this asking for a solution that would find those two numbers, and you included that text as a key part of your challenge, you can't change the rules once we've started.

Your script needs to find those  too, or it fails your own challenge.

Let me know when you have a working version.
