Just a random thought - could you try some different syntax like
"general000[^${loopCount}]"? This will include the loop number in the
result, but it generally filters out the current loop.A quick test with the Java Matcher functionality shows that the pattern works as initially written: Enter your regex: general000(?!5) Enter input string to search: general0005 No match found. Enter your regex: general000(?!5) Enter input string to search: general0003 I found the text "general000" starting at index 0 and ending at index 10, with 0 groups: On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 11:31 AM, efj <[email protected]> wrote: > > Sebb, good idea and kicking myself for not thinking of this simple debug > approach.
