Lookbehind regex?
Submitted by Full name on Friday, 2 June, 2006 - 06:54
Can I use lookbehind ( http://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html ) in jEdit? The lookbehind syntax ( (?<!a)b ) gives an regex error and the manual doesn't mention it so I'm guessing jEdit doesn't support it. Either that or it's using some undocumented syntax I'm not aware of.

hi,
jEdit uses gnu.regexp rather than the java default java.util.regex for reasons I don't yet understand... like you I'm particularly missing lookbehinds - hopefully someone will respond to my post here: http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/2873

cheers.
