Huh. I wouldn't have thought to use (??{}) for that and still won't. It invokes the regex compiler which isn't necessary for the code2assert I posted. This works identically except its slower. `/(??{ # delayed regex $condition ? '' # Nothing needed - this succeeds by default : '(?!)' # Failed! })/` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
