Patter crossing ne line boundary?

[@lbutlr]

I am using the following pattern:

^,,([^ ]+) ([^,@]+),

And it is matching across the EOL markers. I though the default was for pattern not to do that unless specifically told to?

It is the [^ ]+ that seems to do it.

What I am trying to match is a ",,word word," and not match ",,word,word"

The regex component that (normally) doesn’t include line endings (eol) is the dot ‘.’, which stands for any character EXCEPT eol characters. You could also use the ‘$’ which (normally) stands for the end of the line; it would go at the end of the expression you have.

The exception class will include the eol unless specifically told not to. You need to put a "\r" in your exception class.

I'd like to see a few more examples of your data but if you replace the exception class with a word character class it seems you might get what you're looking for

^,,([\w]+) ([\w]+),
