A few weeks ago I found that the remember/replace mechanism in Xcode
3.0's text editor Find/Replace using Regex was following behavior
given in BBEdit Help instead of behavior given in the ICU article
[1] referred to in the Xcode User Guide. Posted question here but
got no reply.
Today, I found that the "not in character set" operator, i.e.,
[^abc] // any substring not including a, b, or c
works in Xcode. Again, this operator is defined in BBEdit Help but
not in [1].
I've also learned that there are two popular regex engines, ICU and
Perl-Compatible (PCRE) [2].
Is it possible that Xcode has changed its regex engine from ICU to
PCRE?
Nope. We Use ICU, and that hasn't changed. I can't speak to the
documentation, but the caret operator has been standard in Regex's for
decades.
