Re: regex question

Try (for example if character was "A") ... ([^A]|^)A([^A]|$) This matches four cases: A is at beginning of string and there is another letter after it, A has a letter before it and a letter after it, A is at end of string and there is a letter before it, or A is the only character in the string.
