Try this instead..
put "(?i)^\s*(\-\-\s+begin)\s+(\w+).*+|" & \
"^\s*(on)\s+(\w+).*+|" & \
"^\s*(function)\s+(\w+).*+|" & \
"^\s*(command)\s+(\w+).*+|" & \
"^\s*(private\s+function)\s+(\w+).*+|" & \
"^\s*(private\s+command)\s+(\w+).*+|" & \
"^\s*(\/\*\s+include).*+|" & \
"^\s*(\*\/).*+" \
into expr
You are using an * to match anything, but for some reason it seems to be
messing things up. If you add the . (period) before it to match any char,
then the asterisk knows what its matching any number of. (impressive
sentence ending there)
Have tested a little, it seems to solve it, though i'm not sure why.
