Hi Noldus,

What Hans says.  The regex engine usually stops at the first match, so
you have to be careful, because you'll get what you asked for.
General questions about regular expressions are best answered by one
of the numerous online articles or for example by the good O'Reilly
book.  I might also shamelessly recommend my "Regex Coach"
application.

As for the other question: You should enter the regex string into your
Lisp listener and see what you'll get back.  This has something to do
with how CL treats backslashes in strings - there's also a section
about this in the CL-PPCRE documentation.

Cheers,
Edi.
