hi, please have a look at this: ereg("/\*.*?\*/",$text) for dedecting c-style comments. /* blabla */ / slash \* escaped .* repeat any character ? ungreedy \* escaped / slash i think i need an ungreedy ? cause somthing like this /* 111 */ $i++; /* 222*/ would be recognized only as one comand cause the end of the line matches the expression, too. so, whats wrong Warning: REG_BADRPT: in ./scr_host.php on line 3 yours, geoka
