Negative Lookbehind Replacement?

M

mail

Hello,

I am trying to use regular expressions to scan a subdirectory structure and
run sfv and parity file checks on the directory. However, I am having an issue
with my current code using regular expressions to find par2 files. Multiple
par2 files are created for an archive in the following format:

test.par2
test.vol000+01.par2
test.vol000+03.par2
test.vol000+07.par2
and so on...

I only want to select the files name "test.par2" using regular expressions.
WSH doesn't seem to have a negative lookbehind function. Is there any regular
expression not using a lookbehind that could get this to work?

Thanks,
Brian

You don't need a regex if you're testing specifically for "test.par2".

if ($fn == 'test.par2')

if you MUST use a regex, you don't need a negative lookbehind:

if ($fn =~ /^test\.par2$/)
