_ln sounds useful. Is that in perl/PCRE ?
Its not in Perl 5.
It's inspired from Perl 6. See the table at the bottom of: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/06/04/apo5.html?page=7 Perl 5: \r?\n Perl 6: \n Meaning: asserts logical newline Perl 5: [^\n] Perl 6: \N Meaning: not a logical newline For Perl 6, \n really means \r?\n. I liked that idea, but it's not as general as it could be. Also, it could be slow. So I broke it in two: _n == literal newline and _ln == logical newline, where the line separators are determined by the regex traits type. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
