No, it will return the entire matching pattern, not just the sub-
matches. I added the trim to remove any leading space, and there will
nearly always be a trailing space because of the part of my pattern
that defines a word will include it. It was simpler to use trim than
to make the pattern skip it. Did you actually try it?

Only if you insist that your string must start with a word - putting
a ^ at the start would make it omit the first word if there was a
space in front if it.

err. I think you missed the point here. You don't need all that messy
substr stuff at all. The preg_match already did it.
