in thread Regex code block executes twice per match using look-arounds

Thank you for your reply. As you can see from my reply to ikegami we have been thinking in parallel. I have tried to get my head around the output from re debug before but found the learning curve very steep. Today in the documentation I spotted use re 'debugcolor'; which gave me enough of a helping hand (even in black and white) to start to penetrate the mystery. I have been meaning to get the Owl Book mentioned by sgt for some time but today has shown that I have a long way to go in my understanding; buying the book is now a priority.

Cheers,

JohnGG

    Yeah, it's cryptic. There's some info on interpreting it in perldebguts .
