typing perl regexp word boundary into google turns up lots of things eg: http://www.comtech-pcs.com/regexp.html Perl defines the following zero-width assertions: \b Match a word boundary \B Match a non-(word boundary) \A Match only at beginning of string \Z Match only at end of string \G Match only where previous m//g left off A word boundary (\b) is defined as a spot between two characters that has a \w on one side of it and and a \W on the other side of it (in either order), counting the imaginary characters off the beginning and end of the string as matching a \W. (Within character classes \b represents backspace rather than a word boundary.) The \A and \Z are just like "^" and "$" except that they won't match multiple times when the /m modifier is used, while "^" and "$" will match at every internal line boundary. \b is what you want for this problem...... sed, ed, emacs, etc have had \b since the dark ages.
