"What do you mean by 'all except "xyz"'?
Do you mean "match 3 characters,but not 'xyz'"?
yes, 3 characters,but not 'xyz'. (xya, xxx, 12z ...)
"You can get whatever effect you want by using a lookahead.
For example: (xyz)(?!\1)
no.
(3)(?!\1) ... matches 3 from input string a3bc
the term (?!\1) is just a conditional term,
but (?!\1)is not included in the match.
The good résult would be 3b.
"Nothing like you suggest exists in Perl ..."
I suspected a answer like this one. I understand, but it's a pity.
i think that be able to get the opposite of a reference would be sometimes a
very useful feature ! (in Perl and therefore also in PCRE)
but like you say, if nothing like i suggest exists in Perl
... then this is a dead end. :-)

ouadji,
