i) This is free software. Go right ahead. :-) Some of the
neatest stuff came into being because someone felt an itch they

Regular expressions aren't difficult to master. The biggest problem
I've found with them is subsets of them. Shell RE's, perl RE's, awk,

work differently in each. It can be confusing, but it's really not
that hard.
