DelimMatch allows you to match delimited substrings in a buffer. The delimiters can be specified with any regular expression and the start and end delimiters need not be the same. If the delimited text is properly nested, entire nested groups are returned. In addition, you may specify quoting and escaping characters that contribute to the recognition of start and end delimiters. WWW: http://nwalsh.com/perl/delimmatch/ -Anton
