But the mechanics are secondary to functionality. Julien's global functions do not support perl compatible lookbehinds, and pcredemo shows how to do global matching. The cpp route was not going to be lean and mean, and Julien seems to have dropped out. Maybe we could at least patch the "TESTING" string out his updated plugin and use PCRE7+"Any" dll for inclusion with the new release. But I still hope someday full regular expression functionality will be available to PowerPro scripts. Regards, Sheri
