Re^4: How to enforce match priority irrespective of string positionby Polyglot (Chaplain) |

I appreciate knowing that, but while the assertion may be "zero-width," my mind still stumbles on the point that "Point" is certainly not zero-width. I'd always understood the "zero-width" aspect to be more related to the capturing and positioning of the match within the string. Are all look-arounds zero-width? If so, why must a look-behind be always of a specified length (width) that is not variable? Well, it may be that it's just too abstract for me. Thank you for your explanation. Blessings, ~Polyglot~
