* Only way I can explain why the "3rd output is different from the 1st and 2nd":
You unwittingly placed a <Tab> character after the "::" on the 3rd row--and you look at it and you believe its a <Space> character. * Suggest you open it up in VI and do ":set list"--is there a "^I" character there? ** Better yet, open the file up and use whitespace-mode in Emacs. ** Also suggest you use the POSIX compliant form for regular expressions whenever possible--i.e. use [:blank:] when you mean " " and "[:space:]" when you mean whitespace--that way its harder to fool yourself, and others that read your code.
