Lookahead and Lookbehind in AltSearch
Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2016 2:39 pm
AltSearch extension is a very useful extension (Alternative Search and Replace).
There is one limitation I would like to overcome:
Lookahead and Lookbehind Regexp feature does not seem to function
although it does work in the normal Search and Replace (LibreOffice 5) with Regexp enabled.
It would be nice to have this feature working in AltSearch also.
For example
searches expressions in parentheses, selecting the expression itself, not the parenthesis around
( and are the lookahead and lookbehind)

For example
Code: Select all
(?<=\()[^\(\)]*(?=\))(
Code: Select all
(?<=\()Code: Select all
(?=\))
