Well, at least, this is consistent with both regexp engines ;)

I think the problem is, that the '^' prevents a match of the following word.

Apparently this is the case. I'm wondering why.

I am not sure, why this happens, or if this is expected, but what seems to work

is to include the '^' into the capturing group, e.g.

/\(^\s*\)\@<=\w\+

That works.

That's true.

Thanks, Christian.

Best,
