Re^2: A regex that only matches at offset that are multiples of a given N?

That is really very clever. Thank you. (I'll get around to trying it out in my real application later and let you know how I get on.)

I also really like your test methodology. Mixing the freds at different multiple boundaries within the same string is a very neat way of testing.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
