Regular Expressions for phrase beginning with 'umm'

Post by *sexy69 »

I am looking in the text of a phrase beginning with: umm

I choose "search" from the menu
find text: \bumm
I note: RegWyr(2)
i TC looks for a sentence:
I'll bring Summer tomorrow morning.

^ Line start
\b finds a word boundary




What do you are looking for?

- beginning with "umm"
- or for Summer


I don't get it :(

I'm looking for words beginning on: umm
and I find it: Summer instead of umm.

And Summer does not start with: umm
only on: S

I do not understand it either :(

OK, and you search in a folder with TXT files for files with word starting with 'umm'?


I have this files
Datei no2.txt --- text of a phrase beginning with: umm
File3.txt --------- umm and some other text
Text file 1.txt -- I'll bring Summer tomorrow morning.


and a search for Text \bumm with [x]RegEx2 and ANSI finds no2 and File3, but not file1

Search for ^umm finds File3 only

Search for umm without RegEx finds all three files.



Maybe you should tell about your system, language, encoding?

Thanks a lot, it was UTF-8.
Movie subtitles are most often in UTF-8.
