Hi Shawn,
Thanks for the stdout tip, that is very useful! I just realised that regular expressions can be implemented using COM so in keeping with the idea of sticking solely to language enhancements maybe that should be withdrawn although it would still be nice. What exactly do you mean by .NET support? I have done some coding in VB. NET but am not sure what you mean. Do you mean accessing the .NET object model?
Cheers,
Richard
