Re^3: How can I access the number of repititions in a regex?

Erm, 
  just use 
    that big wide key
       at the bottom 
    of your
  keyboard?

Update: And to clarify what I think you're saying your problem is: you've got a regex with multiple captures of varying length (say, /(a+)(b+)/) and you want to know how many repetitions each captured subexpression matched (i.e. how many "a"s and how many "b"s) for an arbitrary regex.

Which is actually a kind of neat question (and I'm drawing a blank of an "elegant" solution off the cuff; I initially was going to comment about the operator-which-shall-not-be-named too (=()=) but then read the above post and saw you had possibly several subexpressions to count).

On the off-chance that you're asking about indenting OUTSIDE `<c>...</c>` tags, try `<blockquote>...</blockquote>` which works like this, indenting both sides from the maintext margins and wrapping long lines like this one. HTH	[reply] [d/l] [select]
