Positive & Negative Lookbehinds - RegEx Beginner Tutorial

Lookbehind assertions in regular expressions come in two types - positive lookbehinds and negative lookbehinds. They're used similarly in C#, JavaScript, Java, or Python.

These are just two examples of regex assertions, and this beginner tutorial shows you how to use the positive lookbehind and how to use the negative lookbehind.

You can always test your regular expression pattern on a free online regex tester like regex101.com (not sponsored) to check if your lookbehind's not working.
