Hello Programmers, I am looking for a regexp for a string not at the beginning of the line.
For example, I want to find $hello$ that does not occur at the beginning of the string, ie all $hello$ that exclude ^$hello$. In addition, if you have a more difficult problem along the same lines, I would appreciate it. For a single character, eg < not at the beginning of the line, it is easier, ie ^[^<]+< but I cant use the same method for more than one character string as permutation is present and probably for more than one occurrence, greedy or non-greedy version of [^<]+ would pick first or last but not the middle ones, unless I break the line as I go and use the non- greedy version of +. I do have the non-greedy version available, but what if I didnt? If you cannot solve the problem completely, just give me a quick solution with the first non beginning of the line and I will go from there as I need it in a hurry.
