[Moved] [Suggestion] Positive and negative lookbehind

[NLKL]

It would be really great if lookbehind ("details here":http://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html) was supported. Just as lookahead is supported, negative and positive lookbehind should too. Would be a relief when implementing QSyntaxHighlighter ::highlightBlock(), at the present I need to make some awkward workarounds.

Thanks,
Nils

I think it would be more effective to file this suggestion in "Jira":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com. It will get lost if you just post it on the forum here. The Beta Testing section of this forum only deals with the DevNet itself, not so much with Qt in general, and even here you're strongly encouraged to file a report in Jira.

Yes, all kinds of bugs related to Qt itself have to be reported in the bug tracker. There is no way we can keep track of them otherwise.

Moved to General forum.

Note that there already is an "issue for this in Jira":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-2371. You might add your comments there, and vote for it.

Libpcre for the rescue!
