[aardvark]

erm, no.  i'm notoriously bad with regular expressions,
regardless of the language... that's primarily because i
grew up using search-n-replace features, which were common
to *all* text editors (except notepad and simpletext)...
that's part of the reason i suggested unique comment tags...
not only is it easier to spot the code, it's easier to use
that as bounds for your s-n-r...

i've done regexps in the past, but i'm not so good... a good
use would be to replace only certain fields within those
comments, or replace just an <h#> tag or something...  i'm
sure others here can give you some good examples...
