Ah — I completely missed this point! Maybe a bit of occasional cargo-culting isn't entirely bad. :)

I still think I would use (?<! \S) (?! \S) as boundary assertions instead of \b though, to properly handle "words" like 'a1-b1'. Anon gives no hint that such things may appear in the data, but an abundance of caution inclines me this way. More reflex defensiveness I guess.

Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

Anon gives no hint that such things may appear in the data Furthermore, Anon gives no hint whether they should be treated as one word or two if they did. It's great to have both tools in the box but blindly applying one or other in the absence of a relevant spec becomes a guessing game. 🦛	[reply]
