I too agree, threading might complicate everything ( and a rather difficult programing model )...
Again, multithreading as in parallel, as in being able to be in multiple states at once. Not pthreads or anything like that. Sorry about confusion. But this may also indicate that more knowledge about what you're actually about to undertake may be necessary before setting out. No offense intended, but the area of formal languages (that includes regular expressions, regular languages, pattern matching, and finite automata) isn't exactly the easiest of topics in computer science, and having a good understanding of this topic really is necessary to work on things like that discussed in this thread; so I'd recommend seeing to it that you have the theory nailed down before writing code or anything like that. nikolai
