                /\(\?\=.*?\)/g,//Matches at a position where the pattern inside the lookahead can be matched. Matches only the position. It does not consume any characters or expand the match. In a pattern like one(?=two)three, both two and three have to match at the position where the match of one ends.
                /\(\?\!.*?\)/g,//Similar to positive lookahead, except that negative lookahead only succeeds if the regex inside the lookahead fails to match.
                /\[\:(.*)\:\]/g,
