So THAT's what that does! It reminds me of those Self Destruct buttons that
have a sign underneath them that say, "DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON!" So I never

OK, I am NOT a regex expert, but ...
wouldn't that give you other lines like
put tVar into myVar
should it not be simply
^put \w$
so that you don't get all the other put statements ... that "+" allows
