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.

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.
