Hi Adrian, Thanks. I'd missed the longest-match kleene star documentation.
Sorry if this is a stupid question -- I'm looking for the best of both worlds. How do I get a longest-match kleene star machine to start over if there is an error? For example, a document of "mailto:ema...@x ... mailto:ema...@y ... mailto:invalid_email ... mailto:ema...@z"; will find the first two but will exit on the third invalid_email when I really want it to keep going and find ema...@z.
