While there are ways to work around nesting to a known depth, it gets ugly quickly, and nesting to an arbitrary depth is beyond the ability of regexes to match directly. What you can do is write a parser that uses regular expression and additional code to find the substring you are searching for.

Hi Robert Thanks very much for your reply. Unfortunately, as you say, the expression won't work in situations where there's a closing brace within the function (eg., delimiting the end of the a case function, or a forloop) But, the idea of employing the function / class statement in the open

To solve a similar problem I wrote a lexical analyzer and a parser in AIR. I use it to convert Java code to AS3 to using with remoting. The code is messy but i can send to you if you want. -- Jhonny Everson
