For myself, apology accepted, but then I'm not the one that spent the last 12 years of his life dedicating hour after hour and day after day to developing such an amazing language as Gambas :-)
Hearing your frustration, I'm wondering whether you're taking a corkscrew to crack a nut (or a nut-cracker to open a bottle of wine)! :-D I don't really know what it is you're ultimately trying to achieve but if you need to do extensive string manipulations perhaps even involving regular expressions, perl might be a better choice. If you're trying to parse web-pages, then python with a healthy dose of BeautifulSoup may suit your needs better... Gambas is an amazingly powerful language enabling very rapid development of user interfaces but it's not the language I use for every problem I have to solve in IT. Let us know a little more of what it is you're trying to do (some people do work on 'private' projects, so I appreciate the need to keep some information back in some cases), then perhaps we'd be better able to help you further.
