Thank you. That was a great explanation! It made me understand better what's going on in principle. You are right, Hubski's formatting messed up the example. Unfortunately, for some reason the verbatim option did not work, it just printed the character in front of my text but still interpreted the * and | as syntax.

Anyways, I take away from this that regular expressions are something I may definitely want to look into in the future (preferably using a tutorial "from the ground up"), but don't really need to worry about for the moment.
