   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. 

Excellent example.

Can you give me example text that you'd see in the .csv?
