Help with regex POSIX class search
Maybe it would be a good idea for a whole subforum related to regex searching!
I'm stuck on yet another regex search. I'm trying to find any punctuation characters that don't have a space following them. Looking at my regex cheatsheet, it looks like I should be able to do this with a POSIX class search. I've tried [:punct:]\S but it doesn't seem to work. Instead, this search shows me every occurrence of the letters p, u, n, c & t that aren't followed by whitespace. Pretty much, it's doing the same as a grouping, like [punct]\S. It's like Sigil isn't paying any attention at all to the fact that there are colons in the search string.
Am I missing something or doing something completely wrong here?
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
