Interestingly I made a mistake in missing out the first " character and it
worked.
This is what works:
<!\[CDATA\[[^>]+>"?
But not "<!\[CDATA\[[^>]+>"?
Anyway, I don't understand what the " bit in there is doing (nor some of the
other stuff) so I will study further. Thanks a lot.
Yes the \1 was a type - meant to be \!
The file was created from a perl script - so yes ^M is not something I
usually see in other files.
