in thread Regex infinite loop?

Why are you so reluctant to give us the regex (and not a similar regex), the data on which it hangs, and the rest of the program that might hang?

That leaves us pointlessly fishing in the fog.

"Sir, can you help me? my car is too slow" - "So, what kind of car is it?" - "a black one"

    Sorry about that -- I am not a professional, so I guess I would get a bunch of grief for lack of elegance. Anyway, I would rather be embarrassed and have working code than not be embarrassed and have code that doesn't work. I included the code in another reply on this thread. Thanks.
