in thread Highlighting only captured groups from larger regex

Excellent! I couldn't figure out the "substr" part in the online examples I was seeing, and this particular issue seemed to have an added twist at that. This was what I needed to see. I begin to understand, now, what the "substr" is doing.

Thank you.

Blessings,

    please note that you can alternatively use the substr function as an lvalue

    substr EXPR,OFFSET,LENGTH = REPLACEMENT

    which should be easier to figure out.
