Re^2: Why \n matches but not $^? (weight)

Thanks heaps, Tye!

A prompt, accurate and exhaustive response. (Well, I'm almost exhausted from just reading it). Nice work!

Yes - I meant "AB-EF" when I wrote "ABC-DEF". Sorry - typo.

PS: I assume the -l switch is superfluous in your answers?
PPS: Any ideas why those 1st 2 1-liners you gave don't work? They look OK from this angle.

Thanks again.
