Re: regex backreferences

Hah. I read my own comment without checking the poster and thought this guy is a bit pushy but let's hope he succeeds! It really is a fundamental limitation that will allow so much more to be done in LiveCode, including a really good interactive tutorial on regex. Regards Kaveh On Fri, 17 Dec 202

Hi Kaveh, Thanks, but actually it wasn't me who made the original report - that was Bart Voorzanger. And you added a useful comment to it 18 months ago, before I found it! best, Ben On 17/12/2021 11:41, Kaveh wrote: Great to know this is already in the wish list, Ben and thanks for adding i

Thanks for confirming, Jacque and Kaveh. I figured that was the case. I can stop beating my head against it now! Now for a trip to workaround land! - Devin On Dec 15, 2021, at 2:46 AM, Kaveh via use-livecode mailto:use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>> wrote: This is a major shortcoming and I have
