So you can use a question mark -- it means that it matches the previous element zero or 1 times.  The language isn't exactly like Perl, but it's close.  You can see some examples (since ME uses the .NET RegEx library + a few local extensions) here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az24scfc(v=vs.110).aspx

Oh I see! Thanks Terry! in Notepad++, there is this question mark (?) that can be put at the end of a string captured so that the search won't be greedy, it seems this not available with MARCEdit right? In any rate, thanks for this regex! Cheers!
