just what is happening. BBEdit has set things up so that the input to

from within a text factory. (NB: You will need to edit the shebang

Perl regular expressions are the basis of the PCRE used in BBEdit, so

Sorry for the delayed response here - Google Groups apparently decided not
to send me email despite the Email Updates To Me setting, but since John
cc'd me on his replies, I thought he was the only who had written back...
