I probably didn't think this would work because of the embedded quotes. Same idea. I replace whatever-char-sequence with a character that would not be found in any text string. Your version will work as long as there are no tabs already in your text. -- Peter Peter M.

Re: matchChunk question
delimiters have to be single characters, I believe. Not tested but I think the idea failed on me once. On 28 December 2011 12:00, Peter M.

Re: matchChunk question
Hi Mark, You need to put the part of the regex that you want to know the start and end position of inside parantheses. In your case, this seems to be the entire regex. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/1bq Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!
