Re^3: March a regex using split function

[AnomalousMonk]

I've no idea what "our" requirement is. My practice is to deploy defensive whitespace in situations like this.

Always /xms:

• /x always use regex whtespace for comments;
• /m ^ $ always match embedded newlines;
• /s dot always matches all.

These regex behavior modifications reduce the "degrees of freedom" of regexes — less to think about.
