Wow thanks for explaining it to me so wonderfully. Your explanation for the double ++ really helped me since that part never made sense to me before. I guess the ?R probably only works with PHP? I will try to make some more examples for the ?R to try out today so I can learn the full power of it.

Again I'm so grateful to you for the explanation. One more thing I've learned from it is next time a regex makes my head explode, I'll just break each character in one line and write a comment next to it!
