Regex negative lookahead not working in LC?
Hi all, I’m trying to run a matchChunk regex on an LC script text, with the aim of scoring a hit only if a word is NOT commented out by one of the comment methods. This regex works beautifully when tested in regex101.com (PCRE flavor): (?i)^(?:(?!--|#|\/\/).)*\b(myHandler)\b When applied on the text command myOtherHandler # myHandler // myHandler -- myhandler notMyHandler end myOtherHandler it should score zero matches and it does. When applied on the text command myOtherHandler # myHandler // myHandler -- myhandler myHandler end myOtherHandler it should score 1 match and it does. Applying the same regex in LC does NOT score any match in the latter example though. Why? Doesn't negative lookahead work in LC? (v9.6.9 stable.)
