This is not a possibility, since we are ultimately doing a conversion to JavaScript regular expressions. There is a set of regular expressions out there...	[reply]

Well. I'm not sure if JavaScript has regexps compatible with Perl but if it does you can use Text::Balanced for autogeneration of required regexp. Use this module to generate regexp and later just insert it into your JavaScript.	[reply]
