Are those deprecated or discouraged? nope, they are very useful and stable (not experimental in the least). non-greedy vs greedy is one of those things that newbies almost never seem to find on their own but get it when told about them. this is why i keep saying to rtfm all the regex docs as there is a host of useful easy to learn things in them. when i say docs, i mean perlrequick, perlretut and perlre. each has a different target but all are useful. and when you read a doc for the first time (or repeat times) read it ALL the way through and skip/skim the parts you may not get. just knowing about a feature a little and before you ever use it helps when you really need it. non-greedy is well documented but you have to read about it. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ u...@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
