I'd like to get better at this, so that it is easier for me to conceptualize possible solutions to more complex problems. Can anyone offer either print or on-line references that might help me think about regular expressions in LISP strings more effectively? I need something more than a concise description of each character, something that will help me find the right frame of mind (so to speak). All the best, Tom -- Tom Dye T. S.
