I think that it is better to think of the problem in a different way, because it allows you to understand things much better. If you switch to think about grammars instead of patterns you'll find out that your problems get simpler, not more complicated. IMHO.

I don't think this is so much complicated, you just need to avoid that brain-dead way of doing things that seems to pervade the world. ;-) Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- REBOL Programmer Amiga Group Italia sez.
