As would I.

Can anyone suggest a regular expression problem
that involves:

1)  A large input file so that we don't have to
    have programs iterate over the same data multiple
    times.

2)  Involves useful regular expression features such
    as capture?

I think we might need a couple of tests:

1.  Find the elements in some big string.
2.  Revise some input document in some fashion.

Ideas?
