[osflash] RegExp question

I love this little program: http://www.regexbuddy.info
<http://www.regexbuddy.info/> 

 

It'll make your life a whole lot easier - it will even explain every
function of regex as you type it, or decompile a regex into a human
readable form. I find it invaluable (as I do a lot of validation etc)

 

It's also got a testing bit where it'll highlight matches from a page of
text, which is useful too.

Sounds good to me!  What's \s?

yeah, basicall, that was it - forcing it to have a valid space between
the 2

I just started working with RegExp's so, I'm totally hacking this.

I've always used "\s*" the way you are using "\b". But I think you
always want one whitespace character between year and time? Is that what
the \b[ ] thing is doing? How about replacing "^\b(\d{2})\b[ ]\b" with 
"^\s*(\d{2})\s+".
