As you have established, finding characters within the given range is trivial,
but I think you need to be clear about what you mean by recursion.
Without further information I would have written something that worked on a
given .php file and also on everything that file referred to via include() or
require(). Chas has assumed differently and I hope you will tell us what it is
that you need.
