Re^2: Regex problem - (non)greedy?

I expect that doesn't give the intended results for any of the following:

"cdghi"
"cd ghi ghi"
[download]

Furthermore, that pattern won't help if we wants to go on to handle either of the following:

"cd XXX ghi cd YYY ghi"
"cd XXX cd YYY ghi ZZZ ghi"
[download]

By the way, you really want to add a leading ^ to that to speed things up greatly when the pattern doesn't match.

I am not sure what the expected results are, but the actual results are: `cdghi: (no match) cd ghi ghi: ghi cd abc ghi cd def ghi: def` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I expect he'd want "" for the first and "" for the second. As for the third, see my update.	[reply]

The first one does not match as the OP contains two spaces at least between 'cd' and 'ghi'. Also what would he expect for 'cd cd ghi'?	[reply]
