Fair? Who said anything about fair? This is about finding the bottlenecks in RB and working around them in an effort to become better coders. As soon as we introduce regular expression-heavy searches, perl is going to win as there is no way to emulate that kind of speed in RB. At least, that is what the evidence is suggesting so far. __________________________________________________________________________ Kem Tekinay (212) 201-1465 MacTechnologies Consulting Fax (914) 242-7294 http://www.mactechnologies.com Pager (917) 491-5546 To join the MacTechnologies Consulting mailing list, send an e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
