In fact I tried working with that, by I keep telling myself that if the expect feature in PHP already exists, it must be usable. There should be no need to recreate it from scratch. And indeed it is usable, at least in my previous example, if you write "break" instead of "$break". Duh. So, in fact, answering my earlier question, I am just too stupid to use it correctly. ;-) Thanks to Maciek for the hint. But still the fact that I can't just match a wildcard ".*" as the "last resort" match bothers me. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
