I've worked with regular expressions just enough to not understand something here. You say you'll live with the greedy match, which implies you want to be able to do better, but that looks like a pretty simple regex to me, so I'm not sure what about it isn't up to snuff. Also, it was my understanding that "greedy" when applied to regular expressions meant it matched as much of the string as possible, as opposed to as little. What about the given regex forces it to be greedy? -Jay _______________________________________________ mhvlug mailing list [email protected] http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug
