Wondering if it's possible to have 2 counters that would keep track of the number of < and > encountered. Im looking to see if there's a balance of < and >, and scream as soon as there isnt a balance. So given the above bookmark, I know that there's 3 < and 3 > and the pattern is basically <><><> and not <<>> or >><, etc. Thanks Birl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
