Dude [that's Theo, not Charles] you're so full of yourself that you even disregard what was written just to fit your own propaganda...
When you say "My code is easier to write, faster, and runs on all platforms." – assuming you're comparing it with the sample code I gave Mark. I have issues with at least two of your points of contention, easier to write and runs on all platforms. 1/ x-plat: since when in buggeration is the PCRE engine used in RB *not* x-plat? You start reading your own press, we'll soon learn that the green colour in RB's corporate identity was forced upon us by Martians. 2/ easier to write. Trying to force-feed us an unknown, nebulous API and claiming it's easier to write, 'scuse me sweets, but stop abusing controlled substances. PLUS, of course, the little problem that Charles mentions, your code would make a pig's breakfast of the text to treat. As we say in French, let's not confuse speeding and rushing blindly... -- dda libcurl4RB, [S]FTP transfers made easy http://sungnyemun.org/?q=node/8 On 6/9/06, Charles Yeomans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If it does not distinguish between "and" and "band" when replacing -- presumably it would reduce "KC and the Sunshine Band" to "KC the Sunshine B". Charles Yeomans
