I could be wrong, but my guess is he wants this first pass (I suppose because that's what I'd want)...
The only problem with twice is...it doesn't address what happens if there is a third, fourth and fifth (and so on) references...

Any ideas?Run your regexp over the file twice? Second pass will catch the foo that was left over the first time. Andy.
