I cannot reproduce the exception with that pattern using the latest version of Jakarta ORO. You should upgrade your code to use Jakarta ORO instead. It's just a matter of changing your imports. A utility program called oroToApache is provided in the tools directory to do that for you. That particular exception (with that message) should never be thrown, so there must have been a bug in the expression parsing code having to do with parentheses for that version of OROMatcher. Pat yourself on the back; I've never heard of it being thrown :) As an unrelated comment, I'd tweak the expression to replace each of the ([1-9][0-9])|[0-9]) instances with ([1-9]?[0-9]). Even though they're equivalent, the second expression evaluates matches faster. daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
