note Anonymous Monk I found the Greedy section to be quite confusing. First of all, I think you probably have a couple slash-s'es in your html that is causing it to not print and makes the last couple paragraphs very difficult to understand and read. Also, I'm still confused about why there is a match at all in the first example. Why doesn't the engine continue backwards past the whitespace and look for a </tag> string? Finally, why does the last example (still in the Greedy section) work? If, when creating the example string, I carraige return after the </tag>, there shouldn't be a whitespace to match on, right? Finally, finally, thanks for putting this together... it's really speeding my ramp along... 9096 9096 8
