in thread How to find where regex did not match across the line

The word "match" being in the name "POSTMATCH" was not an accident. It is completely useless for a case of "not matching".

    The conditional, "if you were to break up your regex to find a series of partial matches," was not an accident either.

    Were OP to use postmatch to find the last partial that succeeded, he would have at least an initial indication of where the failure occured.
