lookbehind simulation for app with no +ve lookbehind support

    lookbehind simulation for app with no +ve lookbehind support

    I'm using WOA pdf-Excel to extract values from a table. An example of a line in the table would be, say:

    itemname  12,123  23,456  34,789

    using lookbehind, I can easily extract the numbers using the regex (?<=itemname\s+(\d+,\d+\s+){n})\d+,\d+    where n=0,1,2 to extract the 3 numbers.

    But, there's no lookbehind support in WOA pdf-Excel, so (as a very inexperienced newbie) I need some expert advice as to how to do this - I've been hugely unsuccessful to date!

    Thanks to anyone who can assist.
