Yves> word: ...!reserved_word /yada-yada/ Brilliant! I tried a couple of productions along the lines of
phrase: word (...!reserved_word word)(s?) without success. It never occurred to me to put the negative lookahead at the beginning. That's exactly what I needed... my grammar is parsing all the test cases happily now. Thanks much! -- Neil Kohl Manager, ACP-ASIM Online [EMAIL PROTECTED]
