[ale] Regex question

[cfowler at outpostsentinel.com (Chris Fowler)]

I'm using POSIX regular expressions to escape all the XML special
characters from values in C.

I've walked through the tree and have replaced all the easy ones.
The problem I'm having now is with '&'.

I've tried this:

'&[^amp;|lt;|gt;]'

It works but if the document has  ' This & is called an ampersand.'
the regex tells me to replace '& ' (including space).  How can
I properly write the regex so that it only gives me a pointer to the
'&' and not the '&' and next character?
