You can think of the pattern as a state machine. It scans forward in the input
until the first match in the pattern. In this case the first match is the first

Why does the pattern .*?b only match aaab and not aab? Isn’t aab the shortest

Putting a `?` after a quantifier like `*` or `+` indicates that you want
it to be _lazy_ instead of _greedy_. In short, this means that the
quantifier will match the shortest string possible rather than the
longest string possible.
For example, take the text `aaabaaba`. The pattern `.*b` will
The question mark after the + makes it non-greedy so it won't match the

Thanks. I must have been making some typo. But it works now. Thanks.
Kendall: I appreciate the shortening. A step beyond where I was.

Give this a try for the find. It worked for me. As a note, I
simplified some of the pieces.

I'm very much an amateur with grep.
How do I find the optional minus and put it in the subpattern?
I want to grab the time in the following and then use it for the name.
Multiple names in the document. I seem to have it except for finding
the optional minus sign that can occur with ele, lat and l
Disclaimer: I don't use BBEdit. I use TextWrangler occasionally. I'm
not sure what regular expression "syntax" it uses. I don't use grep
that often either.
Anyway, here is a free online tool to test out expressions you want to
use. It's useful if you're learning new expressions.

I have a file and need to remove links from it.
Can someone give me examples of how to do this.
I need to remove one set of links (and the anchor text) and another
set keeping the anchor text.
Can someone give me a pointer, I really need to buckle down and wrap
my head around this GREP stuff, t

Using your notation where an underscore ("_") here represents a space,
search for ...
_([A-Z]{2})_(\d{5})_
... and replace all that with ...
\t\1\t\2\t

Im new to grep and have what is probably a simple question:
I have an text file containing the state and zip.
AZ 85712
There is a space before the AZ and after the zip code.
"_AZ_85712_" (_=space)
How can i put tabs where the spaces are using GREP?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks, Jonathan. I had completely overlooked that (?s), struggling
with strings of \s and \r.

Thank you, Patrick. It not only solves my problem but points me at the
solution to some others *and* expands my knowledge for the future.

beware that the term will not properly find corresponding opening and
closing tags if you have nested divs in the outer divs (which isn't
the case in your example).

Hi Paul,
this should do the job:
(?s)
(?s) allows the period to match line breaks. The term simply matches
complete div tags. I hope this is what you wanted to achieve?
happy greping

I want to find and replace blocks like the following, using the
tags as delimiters. The problem seems to be that the
number of paragraphs varies.
