I'm not strongly opinionated on this, but: I think that I would find it useful to say: If you want to put comments into a regular expression, you have two options. You use /x and then insert space and any kind of comments between tokens, or you can skip /x and use (?#...) between tokens. That is: always allow (?#...) in those places where space and comments become allowed under /x. -- rjbsThread Previous | Thread Next
