Re: maximum number of lines for negative lookahead assertion (?!)

in reply to maximum number of lines for negative lookahead assertion (?!)

I ran your program until 5000 without problem (at which point I killed it).

Win2k, 512MB of RAM, ActivePerl v5.6.1.

I even made sure no line numbers were skipped:

>perl 453725.pl > !
^C
>perl -e "printf """Number of lines: %s\n""", $_ for 2..5000" > @
