Matthias,
i try to Match on something like
A B C D E F G
where each letter is separated to the next with a space
with
[^$WS][$WS][^$WS][$WS][^$WS][$WS][^$WS][$WS][^$WS][$WS][^$WS][$WS]
where $WS = $SPACE$TAB
i can get no MATCH
if i use
[^$WS]+[$WS]+[^$WS]+[$WS]+[^$WS]+[$WS]+[^$WS]+[$WS]+[^$WS]+[$WS]+[^$WS]+[$WS]+
i get MATCH but also on all paragraphs with 6 and more Words
if i understand it right the + is for any sequence of one or more of the
leading letter
but i only want to catch single letter's separatet with a space
how to do it right ?
Can there be more than one space between successive non-space characters?
Use a plus sign after the appearances of [$WS] (where you want one or
more) but not after those of [^$WS] (where you want exactly one), as in
[sorry, I can't send this without a line break inserted by my mailer, so
I'll mark it with a continuation backslash]
* $ \
(^|[$WS])[^$WS][$WS]+[^$WS][$WS]+[^$WS][$WS]+[^$WS][$WS]+[^$WS][$WS]+[^$WS][$WS]+[^$WS]([$WS]|$)
