Non-capturing parenthesis'

Postby lekkim » Sun Dec 18, 2005 8:16 pm

Are the any plans to add support for non-capturing parenthesis' in the unix mode for regular expressions? Normally in regex you can write ?: just after the start parenthesis to make the parenthesis non-capturing and hence not be available as a backreference. This is nice for advanced regular expressions and logical grouping.

I'm running UE 11.20+4

Thanks.

Use this for parenthesis:

([~(])

and

([~)])

It worked for me, Unix Syntax.
