should and does are often times mutually exclusive :) i've narrowed most of the problem down to a few things: 1) Studio MX 04's 'find' doesnt seem to support regexes over a certain length (dont have any documentation to show that though) 2) studio MX 04 doesnt support (?regex) (non remembering refrences) 3) studio MX 04 doesnt seem to support the CF classes such as [[:print:]] 4) studio mx 04 doesnt support . matching CRLF
i'm reasonably sure that all 4 of those 'un supported' things are actually supported in CF MX and higher.. that still doesnt quite solve the problem of the greediness factor... since i need everything between the start & stop tag of some html. and the issue being that if that stoptag occurs later on in the data, thats the one that gets matched :( i'm kinda eating my own words too since i'm telling someone not to use greediness stuff in a different post because it'll bite you in _exactly_ the same way its biting me.. i think i'm just gonna switch over to an exact match setup and include the option tag patterns. that'll solve the prob for now. unless you have some ideas ;) -chris >I just reread your original post.
