Greetings All,
I am trying to use 'lookahead' and 'lookbehind' regular expressions with BaseX
With no success.
)more about lookahead/behind can be found at: http://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html
Example expression:
q(?=u)
I fear that BaseX does not support these options
Does BaseX support these options? Is there any alternative syntax for it?

this is correct. The regular expressions supported by the XQuery standard [1] (and thus BaseX) do not support zero-width assertions. You can find a description of the available features at the same website you pointed out [2].
Hope that helps, Leo
