Yup, I hear that... I'm going to use something like the following to
do my pspell application...
<pre>
<?PHP
$text = "This contans (brackets) {white} shaz-zam this_under space; .";
$matches = preg_split("/([\.\;\:\!\{\}\(\)\s]+)/",$text,-1,
PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
echo "<pre>[$text]<br>[". implode('|',$matches)."]</pre>";
?>
</pre>
