What is the "#" representing? I have a semi-educated guess, but I can't find that particular symbol in any examples. Also, as far as I can tell, this regex also misses the top level path because it has not children. For example, the "Arts" path. It catches "Arts/Anime" and below nicely, of course. > Come to think of it, if your entire file is just 800k lines, I'd do the > entire thing with Perl. I thought about that when PHP couldn't handle it, but my Perl skills are light and it was a chance to learn something entirely new.
