all,

i have a ascii file which contains many lines like:

 "first","last","occupation","someblah","[EMAIL PROTECTED]"


I want to replace the last email address with a bogus one.
doing a reg exp replace (because of the greediness) like

 ".*@.*"

will yield the entire string including the "first!


I want to match only the last quoted string eg ".*@.*
where the " is the last before the @

I know how to do it in perl and awk, but I want to know how to do it
using (non) greedy reg exp!


thanks
jobst
