I want to do a search that finds: stuff and things and there is more than one occurrence in the paragraph. I want to find them one at a time. I am using: (.*) as my search. I looked up the regex and can't seem to work out the code that will find each occurrence rather than span from the first to the last in the paragraph. The contents could be upper, lower, punctuation, numbers or white space, at random, thus the .*. TIA.
