Hi Ben,

Thanks much for your comments.

I did run some tests to try and figure out what that perl "g" flag was
for and wrongly concluded -- shades of Vim, I guess, that it meant
something like repeat match until end-of-string.

I think the trouble about regexes is that beyond textbook cases, there
never appears to be a straightforward solution, even to trivial
problems. I remember a thread not so long ago where the OP needed to
collapse empty lines among others..

All rather frustrating.
