Scott asked,
I guess I'm still wondering why it won't match twice with a single
character, since the regex is split in to checking the start of the
string and the end of the string but not both together.
Only non-overlapping matches to the pattern are counted (with one
complicated exception).
I see... that's different than I would have assumed, but I can see why
one would implement that as an optimization. Thanks for your
explanations. Is that documented anywhere? I couldn't find it in any
of the man pages.
