I can't imagine how much slower a parser written in > pure PHP (without preg_*) would be. Very true. Here is a very simple modification to the regex which gives a different precedence for {** **} as per Monte's suggestion. Actually, this change should allow for any number of levels (eg. {*** ***} not that it really means much. The caveat is that this won't work properly unless the "higher-order" comments wrap the "lower-order" comments, so a better implementation would be welcome. Basically, instead of checking for {* .. *} this checks for {(*+) .. \1}, if you see my meaning. xo boots __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!
