Subject: Re: Regex to count syllables

On 5 Aug 2002, at 12:58, Phlip asked about a regex suited to 
estimate syllable count.

Phlip, the following regex passed your tests:

Tokenizer = /((a|e(?!$)|i(?!ng$)|o|u|y){1,3}|le$|ing$)/

The first part matches one to three vowels, but not an "e" or "ing" 
at the end. The other parts count "le" and "ing" at the end as 
syllables.
