Jason, thanks a lot for the example and the explanation. I fired up
Perl and it worked like a charm. Now to try and understand it!  I
looked at stuff about Python regular expressions and there is
something called finditer and findall that might be useful for parsing
a string, but can't seem to find any documentation on them.
