There is an array of regexes, for example $array = array('moon', '[wh]ood', '[^as]eed' ... (about 300 entries). I want to sort it comparing to the character lenght of a regex. For example [wh]ood is 4 characters, moon is 4 characters. There are only letters of the alphabet and letter ranges present in those regexes. I want the "longest" ones first. How would you write the sorting function? -- Seks, seksić, seksolatki... news:pl.soc.seks.moderowana http://hyperreal.info { iWanToDie } WiNoNa ) ( http://szatanowskie-ladacznice.0-700.pl foReVeR( * ) Poznaj jej zwiewne kształty... http://www.opera.com 007
