Well, it simply seems like your interpretation of the words:"I want to
extract only the "ed" string which located only at the end of the
words", (admittedly not perfectly clear) was and remains different
from mine. After all, the OP did write "at the end of the words". And
I can't see what makes you feel he wanted just one character before the
"ed"?
