Checking in the Tcl bug tracker reveals that this is an open issue for them as well:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=219219&group_id=10894&atid=110894 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=219358&group_id=10894&atid=110894 The first entry has Henry Spencer claiming that it is operating as designed, but the second one seems to cast doubt on that claim. In any case I tend to agree that the notation implies that greediness should be an independent property of each quantifier. However, if Henry can't or doesn't want to fix it, I'm not sure that I care to wade in ;-) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
