I made a thread yesterday about REGEX >>169721 I still

seems relevant: http://www.regular-expressions.info/wordboundaries.html

try this maybe (I don't use 4chanx so haven't tested it):

\<[aA][rR][iI][aA]\>

or: if none of the word-boundary tokens work, you could use multiple filters:

^[aA][rR][iI][aA]$
^[aA][rR][iI][aA][^A-Za-z]
[^A-Za-z][aA][rR][iI][aA][^A-Za-z]
[^A-Za-z][aA][rR][iI][aA]$

Okay thanks, the multiple filters work, although that's a bit of a pain to use with multiple words

The word boundary doesn't seem to work unfortunately

Thanks again for the research I made you do, also those caps variation must not be easy to write

4 words: Keep It Simple, Stupid

/[^a-z]aria[^a-z]/i

>>170673
Yeah I used that as I tweaked the "complicated" version, it works (much easier than to do the brackets caps thing)

I nearly forgot that it worked actually, it'll be much easier to use the 4 filters for one word now, thanks

/^aria$/i
/^aria[^A-Za-z]/i
/[^A-Za-z]aria[^A-Za-z]/i
/[^A-Za-z]aria$/i

that does the job, thanks
