Faster for what? For one, it takes longer to type. With which version of Perl, and with which exact test data set did you do your benchmark? How exactly did you benchmark it? You should also try this then: m/[Tt][Oo][Nn][Yy]|[Aa][Nn][Tt][Hh][Oo][Nn][Yy]/ and of course this way too: m/[Tt][Oo][Nn][Yy]/ || m/[Aa][Nn][Tt][Hh][Oo][Nn][Yy]/ -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
