Subject: RegExp question
Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 09:41:58 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040923164158.69419.qmail@web51603.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
I have a regexp "repeat\\(-[xy]?\\)?" this should
match
repeat
repeat-x
repeat-y
, which it does, however it also matches
background-repeat:
which I don't want it to.
So I changed it to this "repeat\\(-[xy]?\\)?[^:]"
so it won't match background-repeat: but then it no
longer matches repeat,
I assume because [^:] actually means to match
something, but not a ':'
so how do I specifiy that I don't care if anything
follows the patter or not,
so long as it is NOT ':'?
