Re: [flexcoders] AS3 regexp doesnt implement lookbehind?
Thanks for a resource. Theres lookbehind in list of operators but I just cant get it working. I just tried to test some other simple lookbehind expressions and they doesnt work too. sestdiena, 2008, 24 maijs 19:55 EECOLOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] rakstīja: It should have a look behind. I think you can find all your answers here: http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ There is also an Air version available. At the right side you can find the capabilities.

Re: [flexcoders] AS3 regexp doesnt implement lookbehind?
Let's say you have the following text: This is a test And this regular expression: /(?=this).*/gi The match would be this: is a test Works fine as far as I can tell.

Re: [flexcoders] AS3 regexp doesnt implement lookbehind?
Your sample works. Thanks a lot for proving that look behind works. Tho I still have no idea how come my expression doesn't. I am using editpad pro for testing of my expressions and my expression works grate in there. Strange that AS3 threats it otherwise, must be some regexp implementation specific issue. svētdiena, 2008, 25 maijs 20:58 EECOLOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] rakstīja: Let's say you have the following text: This is a test And this regular expression: /(?=this).*/gi The match would be this: is a test Works fine as far as I can tell.
