RegEx non-capturing group issue
javascript, regex
Solution
(?:v) # matches 'v' this is a non-capturing group, not a lookbehind
.* # matches 'dd'
(?:v) # matches 'v' this is a non-capturing group, not a lookahead
Non-capturing groups still participate in the match. Perhaps you want a lookahead/behind? But Javascript does not support lookbehind.
Problem
Why following return `["vddv"]` instead of ["dd"]: ``` "aaavddv".match(/(?:v).*(?:v)/) ```
