Re^2: Is the skip: directive broken in Parse::RecDescent ?

Thanks again, ikegami. You've given me another avenue to search for my solution. I'm curious though - the trace shows that the skip block is being treated like a production... and it's returning a value! [\s*]

Do all modified prefix matches return this, or just skip directives?

Quote the docs, The `<skip>` directive evaluates to the previous terminal prefix, so it's easy to reinstate a prefix later in a production (Followed by an example)	[reply] [d/l]

Silly me... I think by then my brain was too frazzled to understand the docs! Thanks!	[reply]
