It appears that there is not enough search pattern checking done before the replacement date is implied. Strings to be replaced are of the form: $date: some_date_format $ so a minimum check should be for the bracketing $ AND the pseduo command date: !!! That would have prevented accidental replacement where not intended. It would also allow those who do use $ ..... $ for dates but not want a replacement to use something like $creation_date: xx xx xx$ which would not fit the search pattern and thus not be changed. ;-] ;-] -- john russell ve3ll@rac.ca [those are L's as in LLAMA] http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3ll http://home.cogeco.ca/~trains http://home.cogeco.ca/~cipherReceived on Monday, 24 May 2004 08:07:44 GMT
