RegExp: want to find all links that do not end with ".html"

Question

I am a relative newbie to regular expressions (although I have used them many times successfully). I want to find all the links in the document that do not end with ".html" The regular expression that I came up with is the following:

href=\"([^"]*)(?<!html)\"

In Notepad ++, my editor href=\"([^"]*)\"finds all links (and those that end with "html", and those that do not). Why does a negative lookbehind not work?

I also tried to watch:

href=\"[^"]*(?!html\")

but that didn't work either.

Does anyone help?

Answer 5

Note that Notepad ++ (now?) Supports assertions . (I have Notepad ++ 6.3 dated February 3, 2012.)

I believe that the Regular Expression Documentation implies that both replacement options use the same PCRE dialect:

• standard: Search | Replace(default shortcut Ctrl H)
• plugin: TextFX | TextFX Quick | Find/Replace(default shortcut Ctrl R)
