Negative lookup assertion should match to be validate.<br>
If "Wxy" not match, the positive assertion failed.<br>
<br>
If you want a Capital letter followed by a dash but not followed by 3
lower case, you should match "not 3 lower case"<br>
([A-Z]-)(?![^a-z]{3})([a-z0-9]* )<br>
<br>

type="cite">Hello all,<br>
<br>
had a question/possible bug report...<br>
For the example on this webpage:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.nuclearblender.com/leftovers/howto/regex/"
target="_blank">http://www.nuclearblender.com/leftovers/howto/regex/</a><br>
<br>
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).<br>
Pattern: ([A-Z]-)(?![a-z]{3})([a-z0-9]* )<br>
Text to lookup: A-xyz37 # B-ab6142 # C-Wxy66 # D-qrs93<br>
<br>
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)<br>
only matches first one in the program.<br>
<br>
Thanks, let me know if it should match only one if im wrong. Running
latest version on Windows XP.<br>
Great Tool!<br>
