[regex-coach] a possible bug in regular expression word boundaries handling
trying out regex coach I discovered something that might be a bug - the handling of word boundaries \< and \> specifically - trying to match the first word in each line in a multiple line target string: ^\<.*\> treats \< and \> as the characters < and > respectively.
Hi, Why did you expect this to work? It is not part of Perl's regex syntax. Cheers, Edi. On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 10:00 AM, Sten Wolf <daniel.letai@opal-systems.co.il> wrote:
