Seems to fail a positive lookahead about regexp2 HOT 8 CLOSED

Okay, understood. I was kind of looking at the metthod FindNextMatch with narrow eyes. 😝

from regexp2.

Hi @rafaelcn do you have sample code you can show? I've made a test app with the given expression and inputs and it gives me 12 matches (with no options).

from regexp2.

Yes I do.

re := regexp2.MustCompile(`((Art\.\s\d+)[\S\s]*?(?=Art\.\s\d+))`, 0)

if m, _ := re.FindStringMatch(string(content)); m != nil {
	log.Printf("(%d) matches", len(m.Groups()))
        groups := m.Groups()

	for _, group := range groups {
		log.Printf("--> %s \n\n", group.String())
	}

}

from regexp2.

Would you care to give the code of the test app?

from regexp2.

The groups returned from m.Groups() are the sub-matches (things in parentheses) of the match itself. To access all 12 matches you'll need to loop through them like this:

for m, _ := re.FindStringMatch(string(content)); m != nil; m, _ = re.FindNextMatch(m) {
  // m.String() is the text of the whole match
}

Glad we got it worked out!

Unrelated: your pattern will also not capture the last Article (number 13) -- because the string ends instead of having another Article.

from regexp2.

Yep, I'm aware of that but it doesn't matter that much because the last article is not that important. I'm still in trouble here. not getting all the 12 matches as you told you got. Now I'm getting only seven

Ops, forget what I wrote. I was looking at a different file!
