Yeah, of course it is ;)

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll use
([^a-zA-Z0-9])application.([a-zA-z<]) instead, though, since
"application." is often the end of the sentence in the text of the
website, and it's sometimes followed by a tag.
I'm still curious about the regex, though, since I'm trying to learn
regexes. Although I will use the above method for now, I would like to
ask any experts on the subject if they could slap a single regex
together for me. It doesn't need to replace anything, but I'm very
curious about the matching regex--how do you exclude a certain string
("cfm"), a space (" "), AND a "<" from matching (see my original
question below).
If you care to refer to the book, "Mastering Regular Expressions," I
have it.
Thanks for indulging me,
Jamie
