Did .net recently implement N
? Otherwise you may be writing your regex in PCRE expecting it to work in .net which unfortunately won't work 100%. Some features exist in either of the engines that the other doesn't have.
I don't know, I would guess. Net hasn't implemented hence the problem. The generator should only generate working code IMHO. Not sure what pcre is
It generates example code for a specific language you choose, but it doesn't interpret and translate regex from one flavor to another - that would be a rather huge undertaking and at times impossible because there isn't always an alternate way of doing something.
Generally if you select the target flavor (.net) while you're developing the regex you're going to get feedback on things not implemented - although it could also be the site not running the latest and greatest .net build for example. Either way, it's probably less headache than finding out like this.
Hope this helps 😃
