I am trying to put it in a better way, (I hope :-)) What I am trying to do is check if two patterns could recognize the same string, for example: $pattern1=[ag]oprs[cd]xxxxx9; $pattern2=[agpr]oprs;
these two patterns would recognize, both, a set of strings. however there will be some strings that only $pattern2 will match and viceversa. So, How can I compare these two patterns to say if they are similar or the same? thanks again On Thu, 2003-04-03 at 14:11, Diego Riano wrote: > Hello All > > I am having problem figuring out how to match two patterns.
