Sorry. I'll try to be a good boy -- next time I'll wait to see the actual program before I start griping about it.

You do have to admit that Terra has a certain natural flair for storytelling. Even if we can't understand a bloody word, it sounds exciting.

Oh, so my link-checker, site-mapper web application with dozens of never before seen features isn't exiting enough for you? Maybe I should do something REALLY unique... I know... I'll start a web hosting service!

The best programs are the ones that don't need a manual.

Agreed! I keep typing that darn grep command over and over and it just looks at me and does nothing and tells me nothing!

Okay okay, so I can use grep and it is a great program. But every single time I use it I have to call up the Man page, and then I remember that I can't understand the Man page, and so I have to do a Google search on "grep examples" to find the basic generic syntax that I need to find a word in all files

Get "Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl. Really. Really really.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if anyone else is having as hard a time understanding what general topic you're talking about, let alone the details of the problem, then there's your answer...

Hopefully, the application I'm building will be easier to understand than the technical stuff I've been discussing here. My current problem is small and not so complicated (it's just a language problem), but the reason it exists is. Unfortunately, this thread has evolved into the complicated stuff.
