Lookbehind search in a macro is not allowed? Lookbehind search in a macro is not allowed?
When trying a lookbehind search in a macro, I was prompted with "Syntax error in regular expression". e.g. this macro: http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=8&lid=180 emeditor_perfecta_en.jsee -- Using regex to extract string I also tried a VBEE macro, same result. |

Re: Lookbehind search in a macro is not allowed? Isn't that normal? Just google a bit: JavaScript and VBScript doesn't supported Lookbehind at all. Lookahead is fully supported. You can use Python or Perl if you want to use Lookbehind. EmEditor Help - EmEditor Macro Reference - Directives #language directive (though that languages are not installed on windowsTM as default) . |
