How can I use the hat symbol to negate a character which is at the start of my regex in Scite?

Question

In the Scite editor is there a way to runa regex search where the first character is "notted".

Normally the hat symbol (^) is used but at the start of the regex this indicates the start of a line.

So this:

^.', +'default'

Doesn't work (this sequence can be in the middle of a line). :-(

It appears that you can. A quick read of the documentation and square braces come to the rescue:

[^.]', +'default'

This is fairly typical regex engine behavior. I think you should have only opened this question if you discovered something else helpful about the Scite regex API. – Tim Biegeleisen Feb 15 '19 at 11:32
I thought it was useful - that's why I added the question. – Richard Feb 15 '19 at 14:52
