Re: Regular expression

[alfie]

The 1 at the start of the line does nothing - see it as a nop (no operation). Well, to be honest, it does something: It evaluates to 1, if you would use it. It could also be written as

while (s(\d)(\d\d\d)(?!\d)/$1,$2/) {};

If you count the characters this line is a little longer, but not really more readable.
