For the one character delimiter situation there is a better solution
than replacement (see my last posting).

If you're interested to dive into this topic I recommend "Mastering
Regular Expressions" (O'Reilly).  It's a really good book which covers
building correct and also fast regular expressions and is well worth
the money.

Kind regards
