Kind people, As a perl weenie, I'm used to being able to do things with regexes like
$text =~ s/(foo|bar|baz)/NO UNIX WEENIES HERE/; $got_it = $1; While PL/Perl is great, it's not available everywhere, and I'd like to be able to grab atoms from a regex match in, say, a SELECT. Is there some way to get access to them? TIA for any pointers on this :) Cheers, D -- David Fetter [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fetter.org/ phone: +1 510 893 6100 cell: +1 415 235 3778 Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all.
