I presumed he meant the `<` and `>` characters when he mentioned "square brackets" - otherwise the example doesn't make much sense. And considering the string starts with `<` and ends with `>`, the "between brackets" condition was ambigious. I just pointed out which meaning I was going to assume. It seems that is the same meaning as you assigned to it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
