Re: Extending Regular Expression bounds limit of 255.

Yep.  That is what I was looking at this morning.  It is probably too late in this release of our project to make this
change.<br/><br />Thanks for the help.<br /><br clear="all" />Brent DeSpain<br />Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories,

you'llhave to recompile.  The interesting constant is<br /> DUPMAX (defined in regguts.h as per POSIX), but note that
there's<br/> arithmetic in repeat() with those values.  I wouldn't recommend doing<br /> any of this unless you have
timeto figure out whether the algorithms<br /> are efficient for larger values though.<br /><font color="#888888"><br
