is OK. |
I read Greg's post (#9) and understood that he wants to find ", John," in ", John, some text some text", i.e. find the result of the name even when there is 1 word between the characters "". That's why I gave this pattern and not another. If Greg really wants 1 word, then your pattern will not meet his requirement - it will not find ", John," in ", John, some text some text"
It is not without reason that I gave this pattern and not another one
