That is, they test for a particular condition being true without consuming any characters from the subject string. I have also added a note in the paragraph describing dollar as a reminder that it does not consume characters from the input. The "Newline conventions" section describes different options for recognizing newlines, which of course affects where $ is true. I have added a sentence to that effect. In the section on character classes it already says "A class that starts with a circumflex is not an assertion; it still consumes a character from the subject string, and therefore it fails if the current pointer is at the end of the string." -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
