advanced regular expression question
im real good with regular expressions in all kinds of languages
however, theres still one trick i haven't quite touched in java
when ur looping through with while(matcher.find())
it finds the same pattern over and over
but what if i have two patterns, and i want to find one, then keep parsing, then find the other, then keep parsing, then find the first again etc etc until it cant find() again?
