Subj : Re: Regexp Bug? To : netscape.public.mozilla.jseng From : Phrogz Date : Fri Feb 18 2005 01:46 pm OK, my apologies, thinking about it a lot more (and seeing the same result in IE's JS engine and Ruby's), I see that it's probably not a bug. The position after the period satisfies the negative lookahead and the word boundary. Feel free to ignore this thread, though as an OT item, can anyone suggest a way to match what I want? (All 'global' identifiers.) .
