Sorry, but I don't think the path does the right thing. I just did a simple test: (leaving out the unintresting part) $_ $2 old regexp $2 new regexp "test" "test" "test" "\"" "\"" "\"" "\"test" "\"test" failed "te"st" "te" "te" 'te'st' 'te' 'te'st' A corrected version of the patch is: --- assemble_old.pl 2002-08-04 21:00:02.000000000 -0400 +++ assemble.pl 2002-08-12 00:03:56.000000000 -0400 @@ -263,8 +263,8 @@ sub preprocess { } elsif(/^\.constant \s+ ($label_re) \s+ - (\"(?:[^\\\"]*(?:\\.[^\\\"]*)*)\" | - \'(?:[^\\\']*(?:\\.[^\\\']*)*)\' + ( " (?: \\. | [^\\"]* )* " | + ' (?: \\. | [^\\']* )* ' )/x) { # .constant {name} {string} $self->{constants}{$1} = $2; } I did not checked the speed gain of this patch, but I checked the corner cases I can think of. by juergen
