String:  (0/0/26)*15
MyRegEx: (?<!\*)\d+

I’m trying to match all digits except when preceded by a * (eg: 0, 0, 26)
When I use my regex with a backwards qualifier its matching 0, 0, 26, and 5.

Where am I messing up?

Thanks

    Because the '5' in '15' does not have a '*' before it.

    Wrap word boundaries around your \d+ pattern:

    (?<!\*)\b\d+\b

    to get the desired result.
