It also has ranging fcns - for I sure hope you mean "anti-respectively" i.e. * -- zero or more + -- one or more The Kleene star has meant "zero or more" since regular expressions were invented half a century ago, and + has a long history of meaning "one or more". I know just one company who has written an irregular expression package that has it the opposite way. That is idiocy, and I don't want it to spread. -- --Keith This mail message sent by GNU emacs and Linux. Power to the people. Linux is here. Food, Shelter, Source code.
