how is the code around this structured? is there some kind of tokenizer that parses the whole commandline and breaks it into pieces? or does it just operate on the whole string? i suspect you have a tokenizer somewhere to figure out the individual commandline arguments. maybe the problem is not one of the right algorithm to figure out what to delete, but rather one of structure, and you just need to split the commanline into arguments before you apply the word-boundary detection. i am saying this without haveing taken a look at the code, so if i am talking nonsense, please ignore me. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer working in new zealand open-steam.org|webhaven.co.nz unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
