If a pattern contains (*ACCEPT) the code for finding the minimum length gives up because everything gets too complicated, and so the minimum is 0. A simple case like the above is all very well, but I chose not to try to handle cases like /(abcd(*ACCEPT)|xyz)123/ and worse. Thank you for all your documentation comments. I will work through them in due course. Philip -- Philip Hazel -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
