Thanks! That's nice, but the pattern '\^.*\|[^\|]-[0-9]\|' still
matches all lines ... and I don't see why/how it could to that
... Hmm. Here's an example line:


TV|VOX-1|167(2)|136(ger),|71|12060|1089|SAstra-1H|12187|27500|h|34|-1|-1|-1|-1|-1|-1|-1|2120|||1|


<start of line> <anything> <pipe> <anything but pipe> -[-0] <pipe>
should match above line. But why does it match


TV|VOX|167(2)|136(ger),|71|12060|1089|SAstra-19.2E|12187|27500|h|34|-1|-1|-1|-1|-1|-1|-1|473|||1|


as well?
