I can't speak to everything you've brought up right now, but I can say that 75-100 OR'ed expressions aren't going to find matches very efficiently with Perl5Matcher or Perl itself. If you can live with 8-bit characters, AwkMatcher should be significantly more efficient and it will always match the longest possible match rather than the greedy Perl behavior. daniel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
