Okay, now you've asked for it ;-). Here's one I've wondered about for
a long time: Is there a good way to negate a _substring_ as opposed to
being specific about each individual character? Lemme think of a
(lame) example...
1. see jane
2. hear jane
3. watch jane
Is there a good way to match 1 and 2, besides doing something like
this... "[^h][^e][^a][^r] jane" or "(see|watch) jane" (say I don't
know about the words "see" or "watch" beforehand)

Whew, I'm fairly new to MX, so it's not like I had been missing out
since 4.5.

Great, will do.

Okay, that's news to me. I read this list via NNTP, and CF-Regex
doesn't show on my groups list, so I'll definitely look into that,
too.
It's been a fruitful day on CF-Talk! :D
