RB> Check out the new Metalbunny forums @ RB> http://forums.metalbunny.net/ Yes it is based on perl regular expressions which are pretty close to posix, close enough for simple stuff anyway. preg_replace is quite a bit faster than ereg_replace, I know preg_* functions keep a cache of expressions which can speed up repetitive uses. Not sure about ereg functions though. -- regards, Tom
