We still have to produce a programmer's guide that explains some of these things so that people don't run into them head first. It would also be nice to eliminate all possibility of a stack overflow, but that's well nigh impossible so long as there is some recursion (there will always be a pathological combination of an expression and input). In an ideal world you wouldn't have to know something about how the regular expression engine works in orer to create an optimal regular expression. daniel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
