Hi,

tested with 8.01:

Open a new document and paste these three lines:

TEST!!!
** TEST !!!
TEST!!!

Now goto start of the document and open find dialog with this regex:
(?

There are three parts marked in green, but the last line is never selected when pressing “find down” multiple times.

I reproduced your issue, but this expression is confusing. Can you explain what you are really searching for? Is it possible to show me a simpler example? Thank you.

(?<!**) is negative lookbehind.

I am looking for the word “TEST”, but not if there is ** in front of it. Between ** and TEST may be spaces.

This is for our programming language where ** marks a comment.
So I am looking for TEST which is not commented out.
