How i would go about (after having Googled without success): Regexp to build an array containing all steps Regexp to build an array containing all components of a step (commandcharacter and numbers, no whitespace, no commas) For all commandcharacters define a series stating whether a component changes going from absolute to relative say "c","x","y" (constant, changing with x, changing with y) Now go through the steps array, keep a previous_stop_x and previous_stop_y, for every step change the components where necessary. Then turn it all into a string Good luck and don't forget to share your algorithm when it's done :-) ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
