Sorry, I shouldn't have said "as well". Maybe I should have said "instead". I meant that I assume that the subject of an error message would be the first instance of an error. I'd expect a single error message, just not the one that was reported. I was assuming that things are processed left to right (patterns, input, FSAs etc.), and so I expect the first instance of the error to be relating to $1, not $2. It's just not what I'm used to with regex syntax error messages. It made it look to me as though $1 was fine. But it's not important. I'm sure there's a reason for it. cheers, raf
