Question about regular expression

[gal kauffman]

My example will give false positive if there is a space before a comma. Or
anything else by the conventions in the original string.
I tried to keep it as simple as I could.
If you want to catch a wider range of values you can use *simple* regular
expression to catch as much spaces as you want.
