Hi Dave, <@REGEX EXPR=" zzz |^zzz | zzz$" STR="zzz quick zzzbrown zzz jumped over the lazzzy zzz dog zzz" TYPE=E POSITION=ALL>
will return all instances off zzz but not those contained within other words (not the zzz in zzzbrown or lazzzy do not get returned) The expression translates to a space, zzz and a space OR start of line, zzz and a space OR space, zzz and end of line. ie. Stand alone zzz OR zzz at start of line OR zzz at end of line.
