Yes. You could also split after ] and := and ; More tricky, you could recognize < < <> <= and <= But your splitter must be able to know when it is inside a string (no splitting) and outside. Which means your splitter should be able to recognize the right quote too and split after it if suitable. -- Frederic Da Vitoria (davitof) Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org
