Hi,
i'm new here and I relaly like regex-coach. I use it to develop regexps that i use with php/pcre. However when it comes to regexp containing possessive quantifiers they seem not to be supported. I am wondering if this is a problem with the CL-PPCRE or regex-coach?

"Standalone" regular expressions ("atomic grouping") as in (?>x+) are supported, possesive quantifiers as in x++ aren't because they aren't in Perl and CL-PPCRE tries to be compatible with Perl. As a workaround, you can always simulate possesive quantifiers with standalone expression, of course.
Cheers, Edi.
