[ale] Regular Expression.

[Michael B. Trausch]

For the life of me, I cannot figure out a regex that will do what I want
it to do.  I want to change every instance of the string:

	$_GET['varname']

to:

	get_get('varname')

Using something like sed to automagically do the work for me.  I tried
to do this, however, using the following regex:

	's/$_GET\[\('.*'\)\]/get_get(\1)/g;'

... which only works if there is one $_GET[''] on the line.  If there
are more than one, though, it does something like this:

if ((isset(get_get('id'])) && ($_GET['id') != ''))

Is there a way to make the \[\('.*'\)\] part of the regex less greedy so
that it will match EXACTLY one instance?  What follows may be any
character, including a newline.
