Did you mean +, not *, in that regexp?

Date: Wednesday, 28 April 2010, 13:36.

Categories: perl, ironman, regexp, craft, basic, tutorial.

Continuing from my previous article "Anchoring Regexps", another common regexp mistake I see is use of * where the author really meant +.

So today I cover + and *: what's the difference and why does it matter?
