My regex looks something like this:

^ matches only at the beginning of the string while the /g modifier
tries to create a global search matching all occurrences. Matching all
of what can only be in one place is pointles

Maybe this is because I'm a newbie, or maybe it's because I'm trying to
modify RSS text. This is a perl script for a web site.
In any case, there's a feed that includes the author at the end of the
(looong) description. I'd like to limit the decsription to the first 20
words, add an ellipsis (...)
