This is the issue I created for XRegExp to support it: https://github.com/slevithan/xregexp/issues/165#issuecomment-284593620 <https://github.com/slevithan/xregexp/issues/165#issuecomment-284593620> and this is an old issue about it again: https://github.com/slevithan/xregexp/issues/52 <https://github.com/slevithan/xregexp/issues/52>
They say it’s hard to implement it without accessing the internal regex mechanism. Btw, in the stackoverflow thread I created and referenced in first email someone came with a good temporary solution that works for me. I hope we’ll have the complete version in future versions of js. Cheers, Sassan > On Esfand 14, 1395 AP, at 22:50, Michael J. Ryan <[email protected]> wrote: > > I actually like the idea...
