Really? How does that work? How do you re-construct the subpattern from the (not necessarely unique) label you've given it? And why can't you do the same magical trick with the unique numbered match?	[reply]

The template system I used offers full flexibility. If you wanna do this with numbered matches you need to parse the template. Cheers Rolf	[reply]
