Regex Editor & Tester

This regex matches a 't' or 'k' followed by a space, any single character, another space, and then a 'b'. It is designed to find sequences in text where a voiceless plosive is separated from a following voiced bilabial plosive by one intervening character, often useful for phonological studies of carryover assimilation. The pattern captures the initial plosive for further analysis.
