>From acronym finder htp://www.acronymfinder.com (by performing a reverse lookup on Regular Expression) RE - Regular Expression (formal language theory) Neither RegExp nor RegEx have been recognized as popular acronyms by this site (yet). http://www.acronyms.ch/ regognizes regex, but not regexp as a valid computer acronym. 'ify' the popular verb'ifier' can be applied to both to make it a pseudo-verb (regexpify, regexplify, regexify, etc.) Oh, and both give the opportunity to the creative verb maker - regexpose, regexplode, regexplore, regexpand, regextrapolate, etc. ;-) But then, if we choose regexp, I cannot make it rhyme with ForEx and FedEx ;-) > > Diane > Cheers, Magesh ************************************************ * Office: A place where you can relax after * * your strenuous home life. * ************************************************ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
