in reply to (Regex Madness) And you thought whitespace was easy.

"\n\n\n" eq reverse "\n\n\n", so I don't see how reversing helps here. Could you explain more?

    If I don't reverse the string, then "\n\n\n" gets turned into " \n\n". If I reverse the string, do the change, and reverse it again, I get "\n\n " instead.
