If it's a concern, then when you build your regex don't escape the \'s, and as a last step before you convert them to strings just do a quick find/replace with \ to \\ on the regex. > > ?var\\s([a-zA-Z_]+)\\s?:?\\s?([a-zA-Z_]+)(\\s?=\\s?(.*))?;? > If you're looking for
"var ident:type = value;" don't forget that identifiers can be more than just [a-zA-Z_] in ActionScript. A slightly better expression might be [a-zA-Z_$][0-9a-zA-Z_$]* which allows for a variable name such as "$person7" To make sure you don't miss anything, you can check out the language spec [1] for the structure of identifiers. -d [1] http://livedocs.macromedia.com/specs/actionscript/3/ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
