[wplug] regex help

[Embery, Nathan]

wow, right you are. I suppose I should've tested it beforehand. I've been
bitten by perl's greedy matching so many times its just automatic to find
the regex with the ? in it... sorry bout that james.

I found this http://www.weitz.de/regex-coach/ to be invaluable when learning
this stuff. Makes it easier to 'see' the effects of all this archaic
syntax...

His suggestion did seem to work, but I'll try this too.

Yes.  I'm fairly good at PHP in general but I must admit, I'm a regex
