Re: ereg

I think this is a lot more complicated than somethign a simple regular expression can handle. You would need to do soemthign that reads the entire file, up until the first occurrence of your '//' and in the meantime do a count that checks to make sure all the quotes are closed. I'd be interested to see what you come up with... although I'm sure just borrowing some syntax highlighting code. -dd "Alexander Sundli" <alexander@keyteq.no> wrote in message news:20030912073227.66126.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > I use this expression to remove oneline comments: > iereg_replace("//([^\n]*)\n",'',$code); > > I need to make a check if this expression is inside a string.
