A word is defined to be non-empty. Even if you allowed empty words, I don't think that interpretation is tenable. It implies (string-match " \\b" " ") ==> 0 (The target string is two ASCII spaces.) The degenerate example is sort of an identity relationship. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
