The title you provided 'New feature' could not possibly be less descriptive when placed in a category which is itself called 'Feature Requests'. That said, the package pointed to includes no indication of licenses or permissions of use. Further it is packaged as a standalone program and not as a library. If you'd care to do some footwork with the author resolving these points you can speed along the process of having this type of functionality included. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-07 14:30:11] truth at ichaos dot com I would like to request a new feature. Is it possible to tie in agrep (ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/agrep/) into a PHP function to give everyone the ability to do "fuzzy grep" searches for various things? I think that would be a great help for people, and would help me greatly in a future project.
