When I did the PCRE for pipeline stages, I quickly noticed that just matching the input records is of limited value. You probably want to produce an output record based on how the expression parsed the input. That was why I was thinking along "sed" for example. I could see value in matching input records against a series of regular expressions because there are use cases where that would help. The motivation of not having to learn something new is less convincing, I think. Rob
