in thread modifying list of numbers

Hey sauoq,

thanks for the advice. How could i modify your code to have it pick up the entire string and just append to the end of the list? I had something like : 

s/[cC]opyright*.*?$/$&,$year/g

[download]

but that doesnt pick up in cases where there are extra words after the year such as "Copyright 1990-2002, blah blah more text here" Instead I need something that will make it "Copyright 1990-2002,2003, blah blah more text here"

thanks much! jc

    That would be a little less complicated actually. How about something like: 

    s/(copyright\s+[\d, -]*)/$1, 2003/i;

    [download]
    ?

    Edit: Changed character class to use a literal space and (oops) put the hyphen in the right place: at the end.
