Q: How can you use a regular expression to search backwards?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I've been hunting for over an hour now and am starting to wonder
whether the v2.0 .NET framework can't do this.

lol, I think I was being a bit thick. I worked it out by playing with
the code. The Regex constructor has an optional RegexOptions parameter
where you can specify a right to left search, like this:

r = new Regex(@"<", RegexOptions.RightToLeft);
