You'll want to look up regex information with Google to find all of the things you can do with it that aren't shown in the help file. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net

You can learn about it via any online search engines or local book stores to find out what it means and does. The /g modifier simply makes the regex match something you're after globally or in a "greedy" manner. Without using it, the regex will only match the first string that it finds and stops.
