Just found another one that might be worth checking out: Perl-compatible regular expression optimizer http://bisqwit.iki.fi/source/regexopt.html It's a simple command line program that optimizes regular expressions. A test: /\bhomeg(?:ain\.com|ain\.biz|ain\.net|un\.com)\b/i became /bhomeg(?:(?:ai|u)n\.com|ain\.(?:biz|net))b/i /\bhomel(?:oanace\.com|andunited\.com|anddefensejournal\.com|anddefenseradio\.com|andsecurityresearch\.com|ead\.net|essprelates\.com|essteens\.com)\b/i became /bhomel(?:ead\.net|(?:oanace|ess(?:prelate|teen)s|an(?:d(?:united|securityresearch)|ddefense(?:journal|radio)))\.com)b/i Maybe worth trying a script using this... If I have more time, I might try feeding the expressions currently in bigevil thorugh this one and "Regexp::Optimizer" to see what they might give me. What does the source data for bigevil look like? Is it just one long list of domains? Regards /Jonas -- Jonas Eckerman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.fsdb.org/
