This is a great case for the \K assertion.

I have never heard of \K and can't find it in perlre. Is this a very new feature?

The doc you linked to (perlre) has tons of references to \K. :-) You, like me, must be still at perl5.8, and we don't have it in our docs. But if you are in 5.10, then read again :-) []s, HTH, Massa (κς,πμ,πλ)	[reply]

You, like me, must be still at perl5.8 Correct - the project I'm working on, requires compatibility to Perl 5.8.7, so I did not check the 5.10 docs. Thanks for pointing this out. -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply]
