Yes, a positive lookahead only matches, it doesn’t “consume” anything. But you can simplify your whole construct like so:
document.selection.Replace("(<(denk|wil|dacht|kan|wilde|ben|zie)je>","1 je",eeFindNext | eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceRegExp);That way you don’t need to pay attention to matching the word separators at all. That gives you a lot more leeway. For example, you can then have something like
denkje, wilje;dachtje-kanje
wildeje/zieje
and it will still work as intended, while keeping all word separators intact.
Even more simpler with the word shorthand class:
document.selection.Replace("(<(w+)je>","1 je",eeFindNext | eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceRegExp);
