Re^2: PCRE: Repeating Subpattens After Intervening Characters

Wow, you guys are amazingly quick to reply and helpful in those replies. That said, since I need to do this outside of Perl, in a pure PCRE expression, neither this nor ikegami's post is helpful.

Seeing as how I just looked and found no PCREmonks, however, does anyone know if such a forum actually exists and I'm just bad at Googling, or if a forum with such a purpose exists under some different name/URL?

Thanks Again,
Alex

I disagree. We didn't use anything Perl-specific. For example, here it is in JScript: `var pat = "\\d\\s+foo"; var regexp = "(" + pat + ")[^\r\n]*(" + pat + ")"; var re = new RegExp(regexp); re.exec(some_string);` [download] (Untested)	[reply] [d/l]
