Hi Urs,

this is known as ‘lazy’ and ‘greedy’ forms of regex patterns. It depends a bit
what kind of regex implementation you are using, but you can use these terms to
find help on the internet. E.g. here:
http://www.rexegg.com/regex-quantifiers.html#lazy_solution

Usually a question mark should solve this:
@.*@  versus  @.*?@

HTH,
