the problem with this one is it doesn't distinguish between words
wrapped in : and cases where multiple instance of :word:
let me explain
haystack: I do not want Title: but I do want :Title: and :The_title: I
don't want :important
pattern: .*:\([^:]*\):.*
this one will pick out
": but I do want :"
which is a false positive.

My vote:
.*:\([^:]*\):.*
Anything including null, a colon, any number of things that aren't a
colon (expr 1), a colon, anything including null.

OK, I am pulling my hair out and I figure some of you have had
quite a bit more experience with this than I have. Here's what I'm
trying to get the regex expression in Witango to do:
I want to process all records with a memo field
containing :anything here:
Now, I'm selecting records and processing an array applying the
regex expression to the appropriate field. I'm using the following
command:
<@REGEX EXPR=":{1,}[.]+{1,}:{1,}" STR=.. (you get the idea)
This expression is accepting anything that has at least one : in
it. I really want the field selected if it two : in it. So for
example I do not want Title: but I do want :Title: I don't
want :important
But I do want :important:
What am I doing wrong in the above code?
