The following regex works in the web site. It's also one of the examples in the RegExhibit program and, naturally, works there too. [the]{3}\s(\w+)\s.*?(?=;) The regex matches the first occurrence of the word "the" followed by a space followed by any number of words/spaces until a semicolon is found. Using matchText in LC 6.5.2 it fails with error 301 pattern error. If I remove "(?=;)", the error goes away but the match matches "the" and just the next word. Before I go to the QCC, any regex experts out there who can think why LC would flag an error on this?
