Hello

Are you sure about the regular expression ? I think it is (?<=w)s(?=w+[[:punct:]]+$)

In a lookbehind, the string must have the same length, i.e. the same number of characters. You can't use + * or ?

ex : (?<=figs?)d is impossible (matche a digit preceded by fig or figs)

There is no limitation in a lookahead.
