"Invalid regular expression" error after crossing line ~3000000
-
I’m using @guy038 regex list to mark 2 lines after a specific word, But I noticed that the regex fail after crossing line ~3000000,… And sometimes it doesn’t mark all the lines, But I can find the lines that should be bookmarked using the same regex…
regex used : ’ (?-s)^.XXX.\R\K.+\R|\G.+ ’
and ’ (?-is)^.XXX.\R\K.\R.\R ’

I think everything is clear :)
Can you explain the thing you didn’t understand so I can edit the post -
Hello, @Bahaa-Eddin-ツ, @alan-kilborn and All,

His point was, because you didn’t use ` before and after your regex (to put it in a red typeface), the asterisk wildcards in your regex became italics in your post. It makes it very hard to know what regex you tried when you don’t even look at the “preview” or the post after you’ve hit SUBMIT, and notice that the regex that’s shown isn’t the regex that you tried.
