Thanks David,
Maybe I need to ask in another way ...
if string=string
Is there a way to get "tri" printed, i.e. delete everything except "tri"?

--------
Right, so if the matching part is everything except "g" itself, why
isn't everything except "g" subtracted?
Since the pattern !(g) matches every string except the string g itself,
it matches "string".
The largest substring of string that !(g) matches is string itself.
Therefore string is deleted.
