[GNC] 8.1.1. Find Transaction

[David Carlson]

Thank you Michael,

I see in your reference that regex came into general use in certain
computer circles at approximately the same time that I was learning about
the radical new analog computing devices called Operational Amplifiers from
their inventor at Northwestern University.  At that time there were few
computer science classes for undergraduates, and I only had time for one of
them in my schedule...
