japhy, am I missing something about why reverse regexen would be
little known? The reverse commify thingie has been in perlfaq5 for
about 4 years now.

But the algorithm was never named, nor paid much attention to. That FAQ entry is an isolated use of its powerful abilities.

Well, actually, it was named "Poor man's look-behind" when it was
first posted it to clpm in early '97, and while the name didn't stick,
I certainly saw the same technique come up a few times in other
discussions there as well as the reverse commify meme showing up in
several places besides the faq.

Am i missing something here?
This coma part of this script is exactly the one given in the FAQ
BUT it adds two lines that make sure not to break tabular format
--- which is all I wanted to share here.
fun. | [reply] |
