OK, the problem seems to be that the regular expression that matches "any text
between two "@" characters" doesn't correctly work when there are more than two
such characters in the string. I would have to sort out how that regular
expression can match these pairs independently.
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:

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