Why this regex : (§.)+$ https://regex101.com/r/4oMrcZ/1 is working as expected.
But this following regex doesn't match anything : (§(?=.))+$ in §f§fxx§f§dq§m§p https://regex101.com/r/4oMrcZ/2
Thanks !

1A lookahead does not consume the text its pattern matches, the index stays at the position where it was before trying the lookaround pattern. – Wiktor Stribiżew Jul 04 '18 at 20:23

You can find [this article](https://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html) interesting. – Wiktor Stribiżew Jul 04 '18 at 20:28

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish but the lookahead in this case is meaningless. – Jul 04 '18 at 21:00

The lookahead's goal is to don't catch the char after the § – Etrenak Jul 05 '18 at 10:17
