Re^2: Storing String from Line Before Regex Match

in thread Storing String from Line Before Regex Match

I notice the character class [A-Za-z0-9 _ ( )] with two extra space characters. Just out of idle curiosity, is this done to enhance visual presentation/readability, or for some other reason?

Update: Also: What is the purpose of the $searchfor string?

Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

I just left the OP's character class code as it was. I don't know why he had multiple spaces in there. I had tried several different solutions before deciding to just modify the OP's regex. The $searchfor string is left over from an early test version, it should be removed. In fact, I think I'll go do that now. Thanks for the catch.	[reply]
