Re-2: search for regular expression in text and put the results into an array

[runrev260805 at m-r-d.de]

Hi,

first thanks to all for the suggestions. As i am unfamiliar with the offset function and i was a little in a hurry i used Jim´s script and extended it to my needs.

@Jim

Line 8 of your example should be

filter xmlBlock without "<statuses type='array'>*"

shouldn´t it. 

Thanks again.

Matthias
