I already answered your question. You confirmed firsthand that jakarta regexp does not support negative lookahead assertions (and I can find no trace in the javadocs suggesting it does). If you can't switch to an API that supports the construct, there is no single regular expression you can write that will perform the match you desire. You will have to write a loop that searches for the prefix and then looks ahead to check for the undesired suffix after each match. As I said before: "oro and java.util.regex implement zero-width negative lookahead assertions. You should probably use java.util.regex." good luck, daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: regexp-user-unsubscr...@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: regexp-user-h...@jakarta.apache.org
