sorry to be picky here but saying ^ is beginning of a line or $ is end of line is rather misleading,
if you're working on a daily basis with regexes.
it might be that it is most of the time correct BUT in some occasions you'd be better off to
think of ^ as "start of string" and $ as "end of string".
there are ways to make your regex engine forget about your system's notion of a newline,
it's what is commonly refered to as multiline regexes...
