Hi JupiterHost.Net I think there are more than one "best practices", although not several books carrying this title. I can't - and don't want to - diskuss based on "According to XYZ" (missing arguments), sorry. Readability is good. Performance, as John W. Krahn added, is also good. In that case, I don't care about XYZ. > >> - no /m modifier : unnecessary without ^/$-anchors > > Still a good habit to get into according to 'best practices' (and to get > used Getting used using unused usefullness is useless in my opinion ;-) > to what it does to \A \z and ^ $ Which is (in my opinion) better to achieve by using it when appropriate and by rtfm.
