[pcre-dev] A question about dynamic regex?

Hi guy,

I searched PCRE's document using the keyword "dynamic" ,but I don't find PCRE can support dynamic regex. \(Englsih is not my native language,so reading whole document is really hard for me \)\. :)

Dynamic regex is ,for example,

The pattern (\w)(?1) can match ab .


I want to know whether PCRE supports dynamic regex or not now.
If PCRE doesn't support dynamic regex, will you add the feature for the future ?

Thanks!

Best wishes,
Matt

Yes, using PCRE the pattern (\w)(?1) matches ab

Look for subroutine in the documentation.
