I can see such changes making code become ambiguous and/or difficult to understand once you start taking that idea further into comparing a lot of things at once. There's nothing wrong with using &&, imo. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net

Example: Code: allequal { var %f = $1 , %i = 2 , %n = $0 while (%i <= %n) { if ($ [ $+ [ %i ] ] != %f) { return $false } inc %i } return $true } if ($allequal(1,1,1,1,1)) { echo -a all parameters are equal } This method is probably the best way, albeit a little slow. The plus of it is that you can use variables in it, separated by commas. :P Or if you really want to keep the syntax in your example (note, that if you use it this way, %var can not contain a =, or this will not work properly.) Code: aeq { if ($regex($1-,/^((.*?)(?: = \2){1,})$/)) { return $true } return $false } if ($aeq(one = one = one)) { echo -a they are all one! } Anyway, enjoy!
