I was helping out another person with his regex and he can check it out. Besides I got the answer before I left so... Also even if i had got an asnwer after I had left, I can come back to this node and see what people posted later that day. I don't need to repost it later.

Using dot would've ruined another line that would have come along later (pattern is used in input file per line). I do have a ability to make insignificant mistakes, which tend to take hours to figure out and result always seems to besomeone else saying 'hey your missing a , in there'or something similar :).
