Hi, I notice that regular expression objects (instances of rgxRegularExpression) are prepared/compiled only when the matches() method is called. In my application, this a little inconvenient - I would rather create *and prepare* all the regular expression objects which I know I will require, so that the cost is incurred once, and up-front. However, I would like to store the prepared objects in a data structure which is shared across a number of threads. My questions: a) would it be reasonable (in my own code) to call the prepare() method in the constructor, rather than in the matches() method b) would it be safe for such a prepared/compiled rgxRegularExpression object to be executed (i.e. have its matches() method called ) simultaneously from more than one thread. regards, Tim Kimber, MRM Development Team Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel. 01962-816742 Internal tel. 246742 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
