Sure you can. The engine's rules for combining greedy and non-greedy behavior might be a bit different from Perl's, but that doesn't make it "limited". It just means it has different idiosyncrasies from Perl's engine. I do not accept the proposition that Perl's regexps are perfect and everybody else's are wrong to the extent that they act differently from Perl's. As for the specific behavior at hand, it does look like a bug from here, but I don't have time to poke at it right now. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
