That's why you the ninja.
This also helps solve his need for an index to just the AT part of the word, rather
than the beginning of the word (which is what I was shooting towards).
The find would return all the indexes one character less than the start of the "at"
string.
This wouldn't, though. find AT at the beginning of the string, would it?
Thanks for the fixes,

Technically, it doesn't since it doesn't match "at" by itself.
(^|) This is either the beginning of the string or a space, so the
beginning of a word. Probably unnecessary in this case
([^ ]*) This is zero or more non-spaces. In this example, dots and
letters.
([^c ]) This is one not-c or not-space.
at This is "at" :-)
What you should really be using is
rereplacenocase(str, "([^c]| )at", "\1AT", "all")
which capitalizes all the "at"s except in "cat".

: Regex help please. I've been busting my brain on this one.
:
: Here's what I'm trying to do, I could have string like:
: "...a cat hat prate at bird..."
: And I want to match all the "at" strings except the "at" string in the
: "cat".
:
: I tried a bunch of stuff like: "(^C)?at" but that didn't work. Is this
: possible?
:
: Thanks in advance, Doug
