Regular Expression question

[Kenji Kojima]

Hi Ron,

Now I knew what the regex is. Japanese writing does not use separated  
words. If your data is a kind of words list, you might use some parts  
of this stack.

go stack url "http://www.kenjikojima.com/runrev/handbook/download/JpnSortStudy.rev 
"

see "美術用語".
