You are right. Since you can put it into a group, it is not possible to prevent repetitions. However the rule that empty matches break (non-fixed) loops may solve this problem. I start to understand why perl choose to implement assertions as atomic. Regards, Zoltan -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
