I was just trying to replace ">" with ">".
r = CreateObject("roRegEx",">",""
str2 = r.ReplaceAll(str1,">")
I wasn't really commenting on the amount of time it took. I think if you're trying to process a 267 kbyte string all at once you're probably doing something wrong. I was commenting on the fact that it looks like a ReplaceAll is not interrupted by pressing Home. I've been going on the assumption that pressing Home kills off everything, but I suppose there are some things that can't be canceled/aborted. It looked like my box was sort of locked up, but I suppose if I had just waited for the ReplaceAll to finish everything would have been ok.
For what it's worth, I only discovered this because I was reviving my attempt at a PlayOn channel after I saw scyber's effort. I wasn't having much luck with his channel, so I went back to try my own. PlayOn returns something that is basically xml, except that "<" and ">" are replaced with "<" and ">". I never thought I'd get a "directory" that was 267k long, so it looked like the box was locked up when it was just processing the regular expression. I'm starting to realize that PlayOn requires a faster connection than what I have. I really hate to shell out more money, so I may have to live without it.
