Hi,
So... the [^A-Z] limits the [A-Z]{3}?... /me picks at IDLE. Dang, it does.
Thanks a bundle, Roel! And I learn a little more about regexes.... :Z
Cheers,

You have to many occurences because that regex matches XXXxXXX, but also
XXXXXXxXXXXXX. You should only match exactly 3 guards on each side. IIRC
I used something like (sadly I threw my code for levels 1 and 2 away):
'[^A-Z][A-Z]{3}[a-z]{1}[A-Z]{3}[^A-Z]'
