First, I would like to thank all those who answered my prior question, but maybe you could help me on another thing: I need an algorithm that will compare a regular expression to a string and will return an array, consisting of the sections of the string that where matched by wildcards. for instance, if the algorithm recievs the rexp "\wcp\s.*\s.*\w" and the string "cp a.a b.b", it will return the array (a.a,b.b) (note that the \w's and \s's are not considered wildcards, although "\s*" would have). Thanks in advance, O.S. BTW: The whole thing is a part of the plsh I'm writing.
