When I try this regex in Golang I'm getting a regex parsing error.
panic: regexp: Compile(.+?(?=someText)
): error parsing regexp: invalid or unsupported Perl syntax: (?=
regexp.MustCompile(`.+?(?=someText)`)
This is probably something to do with lookarounds, but I'm not sure about what the solution is as I don't have much experience with regex.
Judging by the first question mark, it seems like you're trying to get the substring before the first occurrence of someText
. If that is in fact the case, you could use this as an alternative:
package main
import "strings"
func main() {
s := "March someText April someText"
n := strings.Index(s, "someText")
s = s[:n]
println(s == "March ")
}
