Greetings!

Attached please find a tested (on just your single sample input string) 
version with the quantifier at a higher precedence that the disjunctive 
operation.

Basically just moved the quantifier clause higher up in the rule set.

And sorry but I also made a bunch of unnecessary gratuitous changes 
along the way...

Hope this helps...
