Problem with Regular expression

luckiluck

I've tested this regex throughly, but quiterss just can't apply it.

(?:^|])[^[一-龠ぁ-ゔァ-ヴー]+

I want to match all the English words outside the brackets. Anyone know why it's not working?

Sheldon
Hi,

Hi,

so far I'm not sure if I get your issue.
As I understand you have an english text with chinese phrases included and you want to match the english text parts only. Right?
Can you provide a concret example? Maybe some text and a part you try to match.

Kind regards,

Sheldon

In the previous post has the link contains the test line. I want to match all the English text which is not inside the brackets.

The link work fine for me, but I'll post here anyway.

[おはようございます] [uk] Good morning おはようございます

I want to match the "Good morning" part only.

Btw, I would like to ask, does quiterss support look-behind (regex)?

You might not have used the

You might not have used the [SPACE] at the beginning or at the end. It's really meant like this [SPACE]\b\w+\b

As it shows in the link provided, I've not insert any space like you said. You can use these websites to check the regex and the test line as I had provided: [おはようございます] [uk] Good morning おはようございます. It should match only the "Good morning" part.

This works somehow. Thanks a lot smiley

I tested it there and it

I tested it there and it works fine. Just add a space before the first \b or after the second \b.. 

It works because there is always a space between words.
