Thank you! That was what I needed. To close the loop for future
searchers, the error ("quantifier does not follow a repeatable item (error
112109)") was because I had the (?x: quantifier around the whole expression
(telling PCRE to ignore inline comments and "most whitespace"), but was
attempting to match an arbitrary amount of spaces with (?: *). The fix was
to backslash-escape any spaces in my pattern that I really meant to be
there.
Thank you, Rich! You (and BBEdit) rock.
