Oopsie. I'm on drugs - that's my excuse.
(No, really - oral surgery last Wednesday. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!)
Corrected stuff:
The regular expression:
(?-imsx:(".*?"))
matches as follows:
NODE EXPLANATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(?-imsx: group, but do not capture (case-sensitive)
(with ^ and $ matching normally) (with . not
matching \n) (matching whitespace and #
normally):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
( group and capture to \1:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
" '"'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
.*? any character except \n (0 or more times
(matching the least amount possible))
----------------------------------------------------------------------
" '"'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
) end of \1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
) end of grouping
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The point about YAPE::Regex::Explain being useful to someone learning regexes is still perfectly valid, despite my mistake. :-)
