RE: Regular Expression multi-match not as expected

The stab in the dark looks to be right the way I read Bob's article and
the
API documentation.

Consider Bob's statement: "The number of elements in this data
structure
array must be greater than or equal to the value in parameter 3."

Also, the API documentation for parameter 3 says: "The nmatch value is
the
number of substrings in string that the regexec() function should try
to
match with subexpressions in preg."

I reckon you only get one match because you've only asked it for one.

Umm... I asked for %Elem(match), which is more than one in this case.
(Can't remember; it was 3 or 5.) But thanks for the reply. Evidence of
this is in the fact that regexec() actually updates all elements of the
array. It wouldn't know to do that otherwise.

I have read Scott's response, and I think he nailed it; I was under the
wrong impression about how the match works.
