Re^7: How can I expand my substring?

You could play around with the length $1 expression and try to limit that, but I'm not sure what corner cases would be relevant.

Thanks again, is it possible to break your code down a bit? Like in using more lines I mean, so I can then use and `if` clause in limiting the `length $1` as you suggest...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I am very sorry, I did not mean at any point that you should write the code for me...I was just wondering if you would be kind enough to re-write your substitution statements in more lines instead of 1. Then I would be able to insert the if clause and restrain the expanding to +-200 that I want, that's all...	[reply]
