Support of \K in regex

Question

The \\K escape sequence resets the beginning of the match to the current position in the token list (this only affects what is reported as the full match).

Answer 1

The \K escape sequence is supported by several engines, languages or tools, such as:

• boost (since ???)
• grep -P                                                     ← uses PCRE
• Oniguruma (since 5.13.3)
• PCRE (since 7.2)
• Perl (since 5.10.0)
• PHP (since 5.2.4)
• Ruby (since 2.0.0)
• Notepad++ (since 6.0)

...and (so far) not supported by:

• .NET
• awk
• bash
• ICU
• Java
• Javascript
• Objective-C
• POSIX
• Python
• Qt/QRegExp
• sed
• Tcl
• vim        ← it doesn't have \K, but its \zs is equivalent
• XML
• XPath
