Error in regex for BBedit:
What is wrong in this regex?
(?=^.{42,}$)(.{,23}\b[,.:;"!?]?\b)(.*)
problem: the comma is also moved with capture group 2, it should stay with
capture group 1
Example, whole sentence to be split in two parts:
They get rid of things, very simple clothing.
regex with error returns:
1st line: They get rid of things
2nd line: , very simple clothing.
should be:
1st line: They get rid of things,
2nd line: very simple clothing.
punctuation mark is not included in correct capture group
I tried different patterns, like:
(?=^.{42,}$)(.{0,23}\b[\w,.:;"!?]*\b)(.*) also not working right
(?=^.{42,}$)(.{1,23}\b(?:[,.:;"!?]?)\b)(.*) also not working right
(?=^.{42,}$)(?<Group1>.{1,23}\b[,.:;"!?]?)\b(?<Group2>.*) also not
working right
Thanks a lot for your help!
