Note Submitter: tasser gyati ---- However, if a quantifier is followed by a question mark, then it ceases to be greedy, and instead matches the minimum number of times possible, so the pattern /\*.*?\*/ does the right thing with the C comments. The meaning of the various quantifiers is not otherwise changed, just the preferred number of matches. The above description never worked for me in php. The only way to match patterns in a non-greedy manner is to use /U switch.
