oh, i see, you're talking about newlines.
lenny(01:46:58)
yes, most probaly, as it might need more than one line being present to test properly
mirrorbird(01:45:41)
regex doesn't depend on what key you hit
mirrorbird(01:45:35)
umm i think the Enter key is jsut the site being shit, mate.
mirrorbird(01:45:26)
i want to write "\. OR START", "\. OR END", but it doesn't seem possible to include start/end as options in an alternation.
lenny(01:45:20)
using that test page, it will work, but only after i press the enter key
mirrorbird(01:44:56)
still won't work if the ".." is extreme start or end (my monkey thought is: just add a space at each end before regexing. but you don't have that option)
mirrorbird(01:44:28)
[^\.](\.{2})[^\.] this one will capture the dots you dislike
lenny(01:44:22)
ok, i see, i just tried it with a single line: "it is a nice car.."
mirrorbird(01:42:08)
also, it works in middle, but maybe not if ".." is the very start/end, so you may need to mess about with the terminators ^ and $. but this is good SO FAR...
