Did I miss something? Im going out on a limb here as a rather new Monk, however I really havent come across a reckless flame such as your post.

And second, im sure its possible to do what he wants with a regexen. It would be ugly! The proper and appropriate question here is 'why?'

In short, please keep your comments of being 'dense' and 'stupid' and 'stubborn' to youself.

Feel free to downvote me, although I enjoy reading these boards to increase my knowledge and understanding of perl, not to tell people they are stupid for trying something without even explaining it.
