does g.r.emlin require whitespace on both sides of "comment"?

TTSiehs ::: comment ::: had intermingled html font embellishments and it was not recognized
that lead to my dup post -- its fixed to handle embellishments now, and I'll take the dup hit

we could have a side game on what game number will run without a g.r.emlin glitch ...

thanx JPF for the reply regarding extracting the result....I was lazy enough not to write a macro.... I actually recorded a macro in word as follows

Code: Select all: replace all "type ^#" with "" replace all "#^#^#^#" with "" replace all "#^#^#" with "" replace all "#^#" with "" replace all "^#^#^# " with "" replace all "^#^# " with "" replace all "^# " with "" replace all "^$" with "" replace all ":" with "" replace all "-" with "" replace all " " with "" replace all "^p^p" with "^p" (several times)

Pearls seem to be rare with this pattern.
I don't have any.

Many singles can be found immediately.

Here is a puzzle with only 1 single at the beginning.
