Re: regexec - chopping a large text string into chunks

Hi Carel,

The customer I am doing this for actually had a similar amount of code
written as you detailed but wanted to learn/use the power of regex. So part
of this is a "willing to expend the cost of entry for future more complex
use" type deal. We thought it would be easy after the regex worked in Java
and we found examples from Klement and Cozzi, but it seems regex has it's
cross platform vices :-(

Thanks for the input Carel,
Aaron Bartell

Aaron,

Why then not simply:

start = 1

Repeat while not end of string
END = START + 40
CHECKR from END to the first space,
SUBSTR(start, found)
start =found + 1

or something similar?

I know, the check would be on all digits, letters (twice) and punctuatoin
(and some more)

With regards,
Carel Teijgeler
