Re: regex operators

I suggest we wrap up this topic. As Rasmus said, I don't think there's a chance we'd agree to implement such regex operators (wether the singular or plural versions :) Except for it pushing PHP in Perl's direction of being unreadable it doesn't really give any added value. I don't see how it is a significant improvement over using a function such as preg_match(). (Actually I think the latter is more readable). Here's a small quote from Mr. Ritchie: "A language that doesn't have everything is actually easier to program in than some that do." (Dennis M Ritchie) I think Perl is a prime example of why the quote is correct. Andi
