"Invalid Regular Expression" Hi, I type a RegEx in the search box and it says "Invalid Regular Expression". My Regex is "(?<=<(\w+)>).*(?=<\/\1>)", which should be right. I have test it with some Regex Tester and it works.
I tested more and found emeditor did not support +/*/? in (?<=exp), is that right? |

That is true. The pattern in (?<=exp) must be fixed length. See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html for details.
