This comment of pc'ish arrogance re reg expressions deserves to be rebuked strongly. Honestly, I have used minimal regular expressions and found it to be obtuse, arcane obfuscation that is valued because it's the only text handling capability that Unix-land values. Ooh, YOU are smart enough to do it, and any SMART programmers should know how to use it. What a load of bull. It is awful to read and it does NOT need to be that way. The forward slashes and back slashes all over the place is crap and ought not to be forced down ANYONE'S throats. What a load of rubbish. I will NOT be polite about it. And your arrogance re the mainframe about it dieing. That's crap from pc-land, which is utterly a self-fulfilling prophecy, which sadly, due to management buy in to the lie, will eventually be done. Right now, mainframe is a living, viable, important resource for any large company. From the start, the advent of pc clusters has radically increased the cost infrastructure of all large companies. It sucks, and is only NOW starting to imitate what the mainframe did 60 years ago. Ooh, you are imitating the dinosaur. Nice. So, you prove the dinosaur was valuable after all, thus contradicting your own argument that is a useless thing. Bravo. Typical pc hypocrisy. -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 3/24/14, Automatic digest processor <[email protected]> wrote:
