Hi,
~
Sometimes one needs to just read the basic content of some text
without tags and other included text segments
~
I am trying to cleanse slashdot comments but some patterns I am not
getting right. Here are the patterned segments of texts I would like
to match:
~
// __ (1) lines looking like; (starting with "Re:" + number of
characters (or words?)) + three dots + space + "(Score:" + number for
1 to 5 + ", " (comma space) + some word
~

I am matching with the pattern:
~
^Re:[^()]+\s
~
All this pattern basically says (to my understanding) is "match
everything that starts with 'Re:' and has some characters righ after".
However I am not able to include the suffix looking like "\.\.\. \
(Score:[1-5], \w\)$" to that pattern
~
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
// __ (2) lines looking like; (starting with "by " + number of
characters (or words?)) + "(" + number + ")" + words + " on " +
formatted date + formatted time + "(#" + numbers + ")" + (optionally 0
or n words separated by spaces)

I am matching with the pattern:
~
^by [^()]+\s
~
similar to my explanation above, but I am missing much more that
could be matched
~
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
// __ (3) lines looking like; free text + partial pattern " \(Score:
[1-5], " + word + partial pattern "\)"

I am matching with:
~
[^()]+ \(Score:[1-5]\)?
~
but I am missing the last part of it
~
Also do you know of tables out there with the common date formats
used on the Internet and their corresponding regex patterns?
~
Is it possible to specify formatting in dates and timestamps or do
you use ranges for that? I am talking here about dates formatted like:
