Hello all,
had a question/possible bug report...
For the example on this webpage:
http://www.nuclearblender.com/leftovers/howto/regex/
this pattern is presented and i tried a positive lookup assertion which
worked, but this first negative one only matched the first pattern (global
option is on btw, so not sure why wont match).
Pattern: ([A-Z]-)(?![a-z]{3})([a-z0-9]* )
Text to lookup: A-xyz37 # B-ab6142 # C-Wxy66 # D-qrs93
Should match B-ab6142 and C-Wxy66 as they both (have a capital letter
followed by a dash), then (dont have 3 lower case letters), and (are
following by letters/numbers and a space)
only matches first one in the program.
Thanks, let me know if it should match only one if im wrong. Running latest
version on Windows XP.
Great Tool!
Arian
