Regex Syntax

The library supports most of the PCRE syntax with a few exceptions:

  • callouts

  • comments

  • conditional patterns

  • control characters (\cX)

  • horizontal / vertical character classes (\h\H\v\V)

  • match point reset (\K)

  • named characters

  • octal numbers

  • options / modes

  • subroutines

  • unicode grapheme cluster (\X)
