Re: Regex boundary match

I think I may have found a way to do it:

$test =~ s{\b(test)\b([^\-]|$)}{change_for_url($1,$2)}eg;

Can anyone see any possible issues with that?

> Can anyone see any possible issues with that? Well, maybe not in this case, but this `([^\-]\|$)` will consume a position. This can become an issue if you start combining with following matches. That's why I recommended a "lookahead assertion" which is zero width.
