The only reason I don't like using the string is the esacped back slash sequences. This is a chunck btw, I am using strings. ?var\\s([a-zA-Z_]+)\\s?:?\\s?([a-zA-Z_]+)(\\s?=\\s?(.*))?;? It's those ddddarn double slashes mess my groove up when making complex regexps. Anyway, I am just using a static regexp library that uses string and I pass modifiers and construct the regexp there in a static getRegExp method. So with the library it's write once use anywhere. I guess the double slashes arn't that bad for now. :-() You do it wonderful with XML, RegExp could use that make over someday ;-) PS Jesse, song lyrics in an example, kewl ; I can see the turntables ;-) Peace, Mike On 3/18/06, Gordon Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Forget StringBuilder... it's going away in B3.

Don't use a regex literal.  Instead, use the constructor and pass a string: var regex:RegExp = new RegExp( "some realy"                                                 + "really really long"                                                 + "regex here" ); -d -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
