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

I would never have thought of trying that.

You'll note that I carefully omitted any description of the tortured, and almost certainly erroneous, logic that led me to try such a thing in the first place.

Since 'discovering' the idea of quantifiers on zero-length assertions, I've been trying to think of a good use for it. Other than simulating a stutter, I haven't thought of anything useful yet :)

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
