I'd bet that both of these solutions would use less memory, and I would guess the PCRE one should also be better for performance (although not benchmarked) as it is highly specialized in that task. There are *plenty* of solutions to the specific problem you pose here, and thus many different solutions more or less appropriate. Best regards, Gina P. Banyard >
