"pos()" is a standard string function, which looks for the position of one string in another., and with onluy parameter wouldn't do anything useful anyway, Don't you need to be using something specific to the regex that you compiled (assuming that's what the regexp~parse() did? That is regexp~pos() . Likewise regexp~position ... If I were you I'd experiment with the examples shown in the reference manual. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. _______________________________________________ Oorexx-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-users
