Could be but then you'd have missed that victory feeling when you'll
get the impression that you made a reusable tool and also that other
feeling on that next time you'd try and use the 'reusable' regexp and
watch the mountains crumble and the stars fall with that special
look in your eyes and all these daemons croaking in your ears.

Nope. Never had that with regexp.

More of a premature ejaculation, in that you got to the end of it, but
overall the result was less than satisfactory for all parties involved.

Thx, Greg, I've already got it bookmarked and am working my way through it.

I just spent another fifteen minutes and found them very worthwhile. I

The edifice I created to do something as simple as cutting and pasting
was a clearly oversized foundation, but a guy like me learns a lot on
the way.

I just learned this:
$ uname
Linux
$

What would this say if it were run on a mac terminal?
