Frequently Asked Questions

What is a positive lookahead in Regular Expressions?

A positive lookahead `(?=abc)` asserts that the given subpattern immediately follows the current match position, without including it in the match.

What is the difference between capturing and non-capturing groups?

`(...)` captures the matched text into backreferences `$1, $2`, while `(?:...)` groups tokens for quantifiers without saving memory references.
