A large part of my current project depends on this :-) PS: Here's what I'm trying to do -- based on a profile ID (which is passed as a parameter), the map/reduce script is going to look up a DB and fetch a bunch of regular expressions from there. Based on these dynamically fetched regular expressions it'll process the input. Saurabh. -- http://nandz.blogspot.com http://foodieforlife.blogspot.com
