Use right associative matching when working with tabular data and you
want to match columns near the end of the line. For example, parsing a
CSV file with /(?i:":*:email:".+?"([[:print:]]+?)".+?\n)/ matches the
column after :email: while /(?ir:":*:email:".+?"([[:print:]]+?)".+?\n)/
matches the last column on the line.
