in reply to Re: Regex backreference without capture (?&NAME) NamedCapture
in thread Regex backreference without capture

Thanks.

But does this do backreferences? I see it matches the same pattern, but that's not the same as a backreference.

But thanks, that makes me think about the problem differently.

Edited to add:
------------------
I'm considering using named capture groups, where there's a need to have a well-defined return value. Which is something PCRE has, and some people (!) can't live without, apparently.
