Thanks everyone for helping me out, I figured it was one of those logical errors which lead to infinite loops. Actually indexof operation doesnt always return -1 on failure which was causing this to get into infinite loop (I should have thought about this). (ie. indexof('[', 187) would return 187 and the loop would continue always. Thanks again, Aniket
