I did read them, but got no deep impression unless I met the issue. :)

Thanks Gil. I think i know the difference of "\w+" and "\w*" now.



lauren, did you read the perlretut document? if not, you should. it covers quantifiers early on as they are one of the fundamental features of regexes. a key thing to learn is the {m,n} quantifier as it can do any number of repeats. the *, + and ? quantifiers are just shortcuts:

     ? is {0,1}    0 or 1
     * is {0,}    0 or more
     + is {1,}    1 or more

those are used so often they should become ingrained in your brain!
