The code, | should work as OR but doesn't. There's a bug filed for this (which I didn't find). I looked at it for a bit recently but didn't manage to fix it before getting distracted with other things, but I suspect one of the tokenizer rules is being too agressive and slurping up "foo|bar" as a literal token or something like that. At least that's how it gets parsed IIRC. _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
