JOSM negated regular expression match, question.

[Allroads]

When I use a code:

[highway][lanes][lanes!~/1|2|3|4|5|6|7/]::highway_lanes_layer
to exclude: negated ​Regular expression match, all others should get a "else" icon Then I have a lanes=10 on a way. This 10 should get a "else" icon, This icon is not showing, because 10 has number 1 in 10, the program can not choose. If I have lanes=8 or lanes=9, I get the "else" icon.

What am I doing wrong?

^ and $ mark the beginning and ending of a regexp match. Change [lanes!~/1|2|3|4|5|6|7/] to [lanes!~/^1|2|3|4|5|6|7$/] and it should work.

I tried that, before.
way|z18-19["highway"]["lanes"][lanes!~/^1|2|3|4|5|6|7$/]::highway_lanes_layer
this did not work for 10.

THIS WORKS !
way|z18-19["highway"]["lanes"][lanes!~/^1$|^2$|^3$|^4$|^5$|^6$|^7$/]::highway_lanes_layer

Thanks for pushing me to do the most comprehensive method.

Now I have to redo the smoothness category too, I think, horrible in [smoothness!~/horrible|very_horrible/

in [smoothness!~/^horrible$|^very_horrible$/

When someone write terrible_horrible, it should give also "else" icon, seeing there is maybe a mistake or different writing. If /horrible/ is there, it negate terrible_horrible too, what is then not correct.

Should the info page be updated?

Ah, grouping brackets were missing. Try this: [lanes!~/^(1|2|3|4|5|6|7)$/]

Replying to Klumbumbus:

Ah, grouping brackets were missing. Try this: [lanes!~/^(1|2|3|4|5|6|7)$/]

This works!

way|z18-19["highway"]["lanes"][lanes!~/^(1|2|3|4|5|6|7)$/]::highway_lanes_layer

Thanks.

way|z18-["highway"]["surface"="metal"]::highway_surface_layer { 
    repeat-image: highway-surface-metal.svg;

/* Last surface tag Else.*/     
way|z18-["highway"]["surface"][surface!~/^(asphalt|cobblestone|compacted|concrete|concrete:lanes|concrete:plates|dirt|earth|fine_gravel|grass|grass_paver|gravel|gravel_turf|ground|ice|metal|mud|paved|paving_stones|pebblestone|salt|sand|sett|snow|unhewn_cobblestone|unpaved|wood|woodchips$)/]::highway_surface_layer { 
    repeat-image: highway-surface-else.svg;
}

I noticed today that surface=metal_grid did not give a else image. It should.
When I use instead grid_metal it gives a else image.

Both should get else image.

Try woodchips)$ instead of woodchips$)

Correct, thanks, my failure.
