in thread Pattern matching when there are exception strings

You might consider removing your exceptions with s///g and seeing if you have your search string left over. Not an efficient or clean solution to be sure, but it'll work. If you can't find another hook in your spec, it's a messy problem.

    That's not such a bad idea, given that every exception needs to have some effect in some way or another before the search string itself can be applied successfully.
