Not only would it better represent what I want, IT WORKS TOO! :-))))

Thanks!

Now, as to why? 'Cause it appears to have done the job in other areas:

//  Workspace: (1000) "BogusRepositoryWorkspace" <-> (1000)
"BogusRepositoryWorkspace"
//  Workspace: (1156) "GPDBWorkspace" <-> (1157) "GPDBStream"
    private static final String WORKSPACE_PATTERN = "\\((\\d+)\\)
\"(.*)\" <-> \\((\\d+)\\) \"(.*)\"";

    /**
     * @see #WORKSPACE_PATTERN
     */
    private RE workspaceRegExp;


//  Component: (1001) "BogusComponent"
    private static final String COMPONENT_PATTERN1 = "\\((\\d+)\\) \"(.*)\"";

    /**
     * @see #COMPONENT_PATTERN1
     */
    private RE componentRegExp1;

//  Component: (1158) "GPDB" <-> (1157) "GPDBStream"
    private static final String COMPONENT_PATTERN2 = "\\((\\d+)\\)
\"(.*)\" (.*)";

    /**
     * @see #COMPONENT_PATTERN2
     */
    private RE componentRegExp2;

//  Baseline: (1128) 27 "BogusTestJazz-3.0.0.40"
    private static final String BASELINE_PATTERN = "\\((\\d+)\\)
(\\d+) \"(.*)\"";

    /**
     * @see #BASELINE_PATTERN
     */
    private RE baselineRegExp;

But, looking at it anew, it appears that because I'm asking it for
alternate string, numbers, place markers (<->) etc, it's better able
to work out what I want.

Let me see if I can review the RE's that I'm currently using and see
what comes up.

I do wish that people had left some comments in as to some example
output of other scm tools to make working out their patterns a lot lot
easier. Mutter. Grumble. Mutter... :-)
